After watching a Netflix special on how a vegan twin was able to lose 3% visceral fat in 8 weeks, I was determined to try the vegan lifestyle.
I’ve never made tofu before and the first few weeks were a series of bland dishes until I discovered Rainbow Plant Life on YouTube and then Nisha launched her book. I immediately preordered and since I’ve incorporated her mini meal preps, we are having tasty and easy to make vegan meals.
Loved the book so much that I sent a copy to my cousin who has been vegan for years. It’s like a light opened up for her on the different elements to creating tasty food. I love the hints on what different ingredients bring to a dish and substitutions if you don’t have some of them on hand. I suggest reading chapters 1 - 3 to set a foundation in vegan cooking, maximizing flavor, and textures. This helps Then watch her YouTube channel for mini meal prep ideas and go back to the cookbook to create meal plans.
I’ve made the pickled red onion, savory walnut crunch, finally learned how to make crispy tofu, and enjoying working my way through the book. She gives you options with spice blends so you can adjust the flavors to your preferences.

Been waiting for this cookbook and it’s just as informative and helpful as I expected for someone new to cooking more plant-based meals. So excited to try like half the recipes in this book!

I read this book cover to cover and I feel like a completely different person now. I am not a cookbook person but this book is my favorite thing ever because it’s not just a bunch of recipes - I find myself referencing it every time I step in the kitchen or go to the grocery store because of how much practical advice she gives on prepping ingredients, selecting the best quality spices, and extracting the most flavor possible out of every ingredient) of course)!! Nisha is so good at breaking down things that sound difficult into simple steps. She has taught me so much about the basics of cooking. Every person I’ve cooked for since I got this book has noticed how much better my food is
This is an excellent cookbook. It puts me very much in mind of some others that I think highly of as well, such as Flavor Kitchen by Crystelle Pereira or Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. The book is gigantic, and full of wonderful pictures - it is gorgeous to flip through. And, the recipes are many and varied, and there are so many I am looking forward to making. However, for me, the best part of this book is the first 150 pages, where the author goes deep on cooking to create flavor and shares all sorts of great info about ingredients, techniques, and more to really improve and enhance the reader's cooking. So valuable, at least for me. I definitely recommend this one if it looks at all interesting to you.

This is a masterclass in delicious vegan cooking! I read this cover-to-cover and this cookbook is jam-packed with recipes, techniques, and tips to level up your vegan cooking. I particularly loved the sections where Nisha combines her recipes into meal plans and menus. Great global inspiration as well. Some of the recipes are too complex for me, but that is to be expected in a cookbook. There’s definitely a lot of simple, accessible recipes I will be trying. This is the book I wish I had when I was going vegan.
