You are possibly the best vegan chef out there!! In the world of reels and shorts your long form, rich and detailed content stands tall 🗼🗼🗼 Such a fabulous video 😍😍😍
That means so much to me! It is hard to navigate this world of short form content because I love making KZhead videos and sharing all the little tips, so this made my morning 🥹
My meat loving husband loves her recipes too
Agree, I really do prefer the longer videos with all the deets ❤
I love this comment so much for her. It’s so nice to see people being uplifted in this wild world. How refreshing ❤️
I love all your recipes!! Thank you so much.
Things about this video I absolutely adore, ranked in reverse order: 4. The gorgeous morning light shots (seriously, wow) 3. The completely unexpected accent 2. The cameo from your dad 1. The actually creative seasonal recipes. I'm already making my grocery list for the week. Thanks, Nisha!!!
🥰 that’s so nice to hear - glad you’re enjoying the recipes! I have a range of mostly terrible accents that I should probably keep to myself 🙊
Which brand of nutritional yeast would you advise ? Thank you for all your wonderful videos !
what accent?
So I tried the Lemon Asparagus pasta and let me tell you, capers and beans are NOT optional, this food is fucking amazing!!! I had so many doubts because my husband doesn't like strong lemony flavors, but the whole pack of pasta was gone by the end of the day with just the two of us!! :D Thanks for the recipe
And another thing, I've concluded Nisha is the most endearing of all the vegan KZhead chefs, just so pleasant to watch and listen to. Always looking forward to the next video. Byeee!
You’re too kind! Thank you for being here 🤗
I love how accessible and approachable truly all of your recipes (these included) are. Whenever someone asks me for vegan meal ideas, I always direct them to your blog and social media-admittedly, the mushroom stroganoff recipe. I’ve turned several non-vegan heads over the years with that one 😂 Of all the vegan content producers I’ve found online, nobody comes close to how entertaining you are while simultaneously offering 100% free meal and recipe ideas that a home cook can pick up with ease, all with realistic ingredients that you don’t need to spend $1000 on. Thank you for all you share!
Thank you so much for this kind and lovely comment - it truly made me smile and feel grateful for my job! And of course thank you for sharing my content and recipes with others - that is the best thing I can ask for! So happy you have been loving the mushroom stroganoff and sharing it with others.
I tried the lemony soup (last recipe) and it was amazing! My new obssesion. Also, my 3 year old loved it, he was asking for more, so thats a big bonus point :)
Major win when the little ones love it too! Thanks for sharing ❤
When you popped up behind Kate and Meghan..😂😂😂😂so funny!! Always look forward to your videos.
Haha thanks! My new favorite hat 👒
I love the way your brain thinks about food, so creative and always so refreshing. Thank you for sharing with us!
My brain thanks you, ha! Thinking about food and dreaming up recipes is my favorite activity! So happy you appreciate it!
Second comment---the soup, oh you have outdone yourself!!! I make so many of your recipes because they are always tasty!! My meat-loving husband loves your curry, and your tofu ricotta. He's coming home from a very stressful time at work (tax season in Canada and he's been working very long hours since mid-February!!) and I am surprising him with this soup. Delicious!! I have sourdough bread rising, can't wait to eat it with this soup tomorrow. You're the best, thank you =)
What a lovely treat for your husband, especially with homemade sourdough! So happy you enjoyed the soup and I hope he did too!
Oh man! We NEVER cut mor than a tiny slice from the bottom of the asparagus! One third we peel off, that's it.
Another tip for preparing asparagus...much of the toughness is the outer skin. If you use a peeler to take it off of the lower section of the stalk, it makes it edible and saves food waste. You can also use whatever you have left to make soup either the bits or peels. I just cook it down, blitz it up and filter what's left to get rid of the tough fibers. That way you waste even less.
Love that, thanks for sharing!
I do this too 😊
OMG just made the chickpea soup and it was INCREDIBLE!
😍 I’m thrilled you love it! We do too!
Because I was going to the grocery store today anyway, on a whim I decided to make that tofu "ricotta" toast with spring pea salad, and it was SO good! I used some thick-cut rosemary sourdough loaf from the grocery bakery as my toast. Only adjustment I made was cooking the peas a few minutes longer.
Right? Such a good combo of flavors and textures. Glad you enjoyed it!
Sooo looking forward to making that Lemony Chickpea Soup...honestly, the majority of my favorite soup and stew recipes come from Nisha! Because of that, I just bought her Instant Pot cookbook which I've heard a lot of great things about. My Instant Pot had been sitting sadly under-utilized, and I'm looking forward to this cookbook spurring me on to finally make use of this wonderful, time-saving tool that I inexplicably never use, lol.
Ha, I can relate! I have had an unopened toaster oven sitting in my garage for the last 6 months. Like I know it will be useful, but I haven’t taken any steps towards unpacking it let alone using it. I’m so honored that you love my soup recipes!
I already made the tofu ricotta---oh yum!!! I make sourdough bread, this is going to be delicious together!! Tomorrow I'm making the lemon chickpea soup!! And right now I am making your lentil curry =) =) So many of my recipes are from you!!
You da best, Nisha. I LOVED your Meal Plan and only stopped because a new project has taken over my life. While I appreciate that you're sharing and not always shilling your Meal plan, I do think it's a Public Service for you to TELL THE PEOPLE that they can have more of your delicious, healthy, superb recipes by signing up for the Meal Plan. It's worth it, folks! Support this woman. She's endlessly creative. (decidedly not a paid review - I'm in Toronto, far, far from anywhere where there are Spring Veg in farmers' markets)
Thank you for all your recipes. You’ve made my transition into veganism easy and Im sure you’ve helped others in the same way. It’s a big impact.
🥰 that is so generous of you to say! I’m honored my recipes have helped make the transition easy!
I've made a variation of lemon asparagus pasta twice this week, thanks to your newsletter!
So happy to hear that ☺
My husband and I made this soup for dinner this evening. It is absolutely delicious! We both said it’s one of the best soups we’ve ever had. ❤ Thanks for sharing!
that is delightful to hear! It's a new favorite for me and Max as well!
You are outdoing yourself Nisha. Everyone of these I want to eat this week! It's autumn here in Sydney but I did buy some Mexican asparagus for $5 last week. How many stalks of asparagus in the bunch you might ask? Five. So $1 per stalk. My son, an adult now, used to call it “asparasguts” as a child, so he suggested it was ridiculous to spend that much on asparasguts. Still we have enough of all the makings to, well, go forth and make. Tally ho, guv'nor (you gave me a laugh) 😅
Mushy peas are an English national dish. I'm with you, though. I stand for the integrity of the green pea! Thanks for another video of great ideas.
So excited for spring too!
Love the use of seasonal veg!!! I just went to the farmers market today. Your channel always inspires me!
The farmers market is my favorite place 😍 so delighted you’re feeling inspired!
Your channel is full of inspiration! Love learning new yummy ways to enjoy more veggies in my life from you! ❤
That makes me delighted to hear! Finding ways to enjoy vegetables is the best!❤
I recently made the lemony chickpea soup and I can attest to how delicious, fresh, and cozy it is. It is definitely my new favorite soup as well! If you love lemon you NEED to make it!
FIVE spring recipes?! so excited!! just visited a vegan restaurant where they made spring ravioli in a pea-sto (pea pesto) sauce, and it’s got me in a seasonal mood❤
Love the toast and soup ideas!
Already cooking the first one!!!! Thank you for these amazing recipes.
absolutely fabulous, no notes

Oooooo love your interpretation of gremolata! Love it!
Always love seeing your parents in your videos!
Love lemony recipes in the spring! Thanks Nisha, I'm making that soup as soon as I can.
I can't believe I get to watch this for free. You, your food, and your production values are ✨stunning✨
Definitely going to make this! It looks amazing!
Always so flavorful 😋
Wow all of these recipes are so inspired and beautiful. I cant wait to make them. Thank you so so much ❤
You never ceases to amaze me! Bravo!👏 I love them all❤
I love your videos! Most of your recipes are on repeat/rotation for me.
I have been following you for years and I just love your recipes! I was raised vegetarian and I like to experiment with a lot of different things in my cooking, and I love the flavors and ingredients you incorporate in your recipes. I'm also Indian and find some vegan recipes to be more "new american," and it's just lovely to see you incorporate indian flavors and cooking techniques in some of your other recipes. It makes me feel more connected to my culture and family while still cooking in my own special adventurous way.
Made the ricotta toast today and WOW. Really light yet satisfying lunch, thank you Nisha!
I love that you make higher protein recipes lately!!! Really nice
Nisha, you somehow always anticipate the exact types of recipes I’ve been craving!! It’s so obvious that you put an immense amount of work into the food that you share with us. Thank you for being you!
Amazing recipes 🥰 Thank you for sharing ❤
Your recipes are so inspiring!
Nisha, thank you so much for the free PDF guides that go with these recipe videos!! Seriously makes it so much easier and accessible to follow along and make these dishes. The lemony asparagus pasta is on rotation in my household and I am especially looking forward to making the lemony chickpea soup 💛
I'm excited to try EVERY single one of these recipes 😋
Wow fabulous recipes thankyou❤
I loooove your dishes. I love cooking and creating dishes and your ideas are so inspiring. Thank you!
🥰 that’s so nice to hear! Happy cooking!
Thank you for amazing ideas❤
Your dad is the cutest! Especially when he asked you where the spice was! Adorable! 🩷
Your recipes always look amazingly delicious 😋
So excited to try these all, your recipes are always worth the extra effort.
I’m honored you think so!
I am absoutely obessed with the lemon chickpea soup! My new favorite soup! I know it's not vegan , but I'm not big on the flavor of nutritional yeast so I swapped it with parm and it was delicious. I love how robust and filling this soup is!
Quite lovely-thank you for the amazing food and the wonderful video.
Wow - just made the pasta and it was absolutely fantastic! ❤😋
The pea toast was such a surprisingly fresh and delicious recipe. I would have never thought of combining these ingredients in this way. Brava!
thank you so much for these fabulous looking recipes! I need to try all of them 😍 especially love your comments for additions to make a complete meal out of every recipe. This means a lot, as I‘m struggeling to eat in a complete, balanced way. Also, loved your podcast interview at the foodblogger pro. So inspiring ❤
Thanks a lot 😊 I downloaded the guide because I would like tu try some of these… I’m also very impressed with your chopping skills !
Excellent recipes. I will try them when I get the chance in the future. Also, I must get the same vegetable brush. I'm so excited about that kitchen essential as well. Thank you again for your healthy meal ideas.
Wow! These recipes look tasty!! Will definitely download the pdf and try them all. Thanks so much Nisha!
wonderful - just made the lemony chickpea soup and it is superb! I look forward to getting your new book in London, Uk - Thank you for your inspiring and delicious recipes - Jo 🪷
This is still one of my all time favorite channels. You’re so talented with how you put flavors together and prove that Vegan food is NOT boring or flavorless. Thank you for cooking and sharing with love. ❤️
These look amazing! Excited to be trying the beet and fennel salad and the tofu ricotta toast for our Mother's Day brunch.
Thank you! I have been going crazy trying to think of a good spring meal
thank you for these uniques recipes - finally something new to try ;)
This is really amazing! Like always!!!
all looksamazing, excited to try!
You are so refreshing to watch! As well as tour recipes!!! You have a very down to earth and natural look that I love and relate too!! Your recipes reflect your style!! Love it.
Made the soup yesterday, very tasty. Goes well in the Australian autumn. Thankyou for this recipe, it will definitely be on repeat. ❤
It all looks so yummy and healthy.
Wow! I haven’t watched a video of yours for like 2 years!! Your channel has grown so much and I love the way you made this video!! Very professional and classy! 💕💕 the food looks amazing and flavorful as well as always! 🥰
The chickpea soup is already an instant favorite! Made it last night and it was so delicious! 😍
I agree - think you are the best vegan chef, you are definitely my go to chef for inspiration!
Love the new aesthetic of your videos! And big thanks for these inspiring recipes 💛 Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮
So nice to hear that! Hello from California!
Thanks for the video Nisha! :)
Girl! You are a kitchen Wizard!!! Thank you for doing what you do and sharing all of your amazing recipes - you have really helped my vegan journey!!! I do miss the old format of your videos, they were so fun to watch and really helpful when working through a recipe hope you bring them back from time to time
I’m definitely trying the beet salad this week! Your channel is my go-to when I am looking to change things up, use ingredients differently and have new food experiences. Although this is a vegan channel, your creativity on its own is the star of the show- and that, I think, makes you an advocate for the animals in a very special way ❤️
I’ve made that lemon asparagus pasta 7 times it’s so good every time
So lovely to hear it!
I love your videos! They look so yummy
That toast looks amaaaazing❤😊
I never thought of charring green onion to make a sauce! wow, need. to try!
Nice! I have asparagus growing in my garden now. Will give this a try.
I watch your stuff and use your recipes almost on a weekly bases since I went vegan 4 years ago. I truly love your recipes, they are delicious, very balanced and mostly very manageable! I have to say that our all time favorite is the red lentil curry, I even once cooked it for my co-workers! thanks for all your work it really helped me stay vegan and even get my friends and husband to enjoy vegan food!
Your tofu ricotta is very delicious, long time remake. Added dried or fresh basil is delicious too. 🌿
I save the asparagus ends and make a pureed veg soup (sweet potato, carrot, asparagus, onion, garlic, maybe some coconut milk, Thai curry paste or whatever). All the ends of those veg, even skins, because once pressure cooked and out of instantpot, it gets pureed so you don't see the ugly, blemished or ugly veg scraps!
This looks like it's going to be delicious!🤤
The lemony chickpea soup looks soo delicious yum!
It's my new favorite soup!!
I love them all ❤
I am here for the British accent!
Just made that lemon asparagus pasta last week. Highly recommend!
Looks yum I need all the recipes for me BTW cant wait to make your recipes soon for me
im a little cautionary on new recipes but i recently have been dropping meat and trying more simple vegan recipes, mostly either chickpea or black bean based, and that last recipe im already adding to my grocery list so i can make it ASAP! thank you for sharing these!
This is awesome 🤤
Nisha, what a video! I'm talking about everything that goes into making your content: obviously the stunning and creative food, the quality on your footage and editing. Wow! There's so much work in a 16min video! Well done. You are amazing! This channel is a gem! Also thank you! I'm a vegan cook, cooking in all kinds of retreats/events and for many times I came to your channel for inspiration ❤
Glad you liked it! 😊
I'm a simple gal i see CaraCara orange i rejoyce ❤
That chickpea soup looks amazing - can't wait to try it!
I think you’ll love it 🥰
@@RainbowPlantLife Update: Made the soup tonight and it was indeed delicious :)
Oh wow that soup does look great! I wish I had finished watching this video before I hit store...instead went with some cheap curry recipe that is so one note...never go away Nisha!
"My Fair Lady" all the way!
Hey just joined your channel.! I’m a new vegan. I love your ingredients. Been trying to find easy breakfast and dinner recipes. I’m going to try the pasta one, but I’ll use zucchini instead❤️ much love from Maryland
