In addition to viral dance routines and\nchallenges, the platform is a great source for vegan recipe inspiration,\nnotably from these five creators: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@eat_figs_not_pigs: Ashley Hankins has combined her interest\nin food with her passion for veganism, which she shares through recipes like\nher sticky baked Korean barbecue tofu bites. Hankins recently published a\ncookbook, <em>Make it Vegan<\/em>, and has frequently appeared on Fresno-area\nmorning show \u201cGreat Day Kitchen\u201d to show off her cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@iamtabithabrown: Tabitha Brown\u2019s soothing narration and\ncatchphrases including \u201clike so, like that\u201d and \u201cbecause that\u2019s my business\u201d\nare her signature on the app, where she shares creative original recipes. After\nher carrot bacon video took her viral, Brown was featured in magazines and on\ntelevision; she now has her own show, <em>All Love<\/em>, on the Ellen Digital\nNetwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@plantcenteredprep: Ashley Kitchens was raised on a beef\nfarm, and after becoming a Registered Dietitian, transitioned to a plant-based\nlifestyle. Her TikTok videos educate viewers about the basics of vegan\nnutrition using evidence-based research, and she shares tips for healthy meal\nplanning. Her epic breakfast wrap is a simple, yet tasty recipe that\u2019s easy to\ncustomize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@thekoreanvegan: Joanne Molinaro is a lawyer by day, but\nshe\u2019s known on TikTok for beautifully-narrated videos in which she pairs\npersonal anecdotes with vegan recipes. Molinaro\u2019s stories cover her family\u2019s\norigins in and escape from North\n  Korea and Molinaro\u2019s own personal life,\nwhile her recipes show veganized Korean entr\u00e9es as well as baked goods like her\neasy blueberry lemon muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@veganjenni: Jenni Poole\u2019s TikTok account chronicles her\nvegan lifestyle. Videos show how to shop vegan, tips for transitioning to\nveganism, recipes (a recent post showed how to make vegan mozzarella sticks),\nand her activism work. Poole\nalso highlights the work of other vegan content creators, and recently started\na vegan book club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these five creators consistently post outstanding\nTikTok videos, they all have a presence on Instagram, and most also have\nwebsites and Facebook pages, for those who don\u2019t want to commit to yet another\nsocial media platform. Their content is definitely worth watching, and I\u2019m\nlooking forward to seeing what else they do next. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Amy Burger, VRG Intern Video-sharing app TikTok launched in the US in 2016 and its popularity has grown steadily since, especially as Americans stayed home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
