i tried 80% of recipes from the cookbook and i I absolutely love it! the best instant pot book out there

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Hanna! That's so wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing :)

[@helenweatherby1694]

I totally agree.

[@amandahollifield3297]

There’s a BOOK!?

[@_pronounced_]

@@amandahollifield3297 yes and is fantastic

[@luzperras728]

The corn dance 💃 🌽 was so adorable and funny 😄

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hehe thanks Luz! I am happy it made you laugh :)

[@TheTastyVegan]

Instant pots are the best for when you just wanna throw something together make it taste good😁🌱

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Totally agree! So handy!

[@justayari]

I made the cous cous salad a few days ago and it’s so gooooodd!!! When it was still hot I ate it as a soup with bread and black pepper!! Then made the salad and it was completely different yet equally as delicious!!!!♥️

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I love that you served it two different ways, such a fun idea for adding more versatility into your diet!

[@jeaniekurtis1995]

I have made at least 30 of the recipes in your cookbook and they're always a hit. My whole family (omnivores) loves them!

[@victoriaprevitt7058]

I love how creative you are! I often just use my instant pot for beans and rice, so I appreciate these fun ideas.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you Victoria! That's so nice to hear - the instant pot is definitely versatile!

[@thoselittlehands5388]

They re really good, you have to try them

[@MsPants1632]

My favorite part about your channel is that you are so professional with your recipes with just enough of humor and bloopers thrown in 🤣🤣 I swore I was not getting an instant pot but you keep showing me how easy it is to make so many things!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww that's the nicest comment! I appreciate and so happy you love both the recipes and the humor :) It really is such great appliance to have around!

[@ThePlantBasedKitchen]

Same! Now I'm like - do I get one? Do I need another appliance? lol

[@PlaySavi]

I found your channel yesterday and I’m so glad! Love the honest silliness combined with the delicious recipes. You have such a calm, gentle voice. Can’t wait to try some of these in my kitchen!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

aww yay! That makes me happy to hear. Happy you’re enjoying my videos 🥰

[@karennesbitt9655]

You would also really enjoy Sadia from Pick up Limes. Between Rainbow Plant Life, Pick up Limes and Plantiful Kiki, they are my favs!

[@HelloManpreet]

Everything looks sooo amazing! Right now I’m really loving huge filling salads before evening walks 💕

[@RainbowPlantLife]

thank you dear! Glad you enjoyed the recipes :) and an evening walk sounds lovely!

[@margarett_b]

Honestly, this video is a blessing. I can't be turning the oven on when it is so hot as we would not survive till the dish is finished. Also, I feel like cooking feels like SUCH a hassle when it gets warmer... I just want to eat fresh and quick! But you know, I am passionate about showing my fam that plant based dishes can be super tasty so I have started running low on ideas...and then BOM, your video, just in time :D . Sending you lots of love! Hope you're havinga great week so far!

[@pkeys88]

I made the corn chouder tonight for entree and my family absolutely loved it!

[@lizcoyle4168]

I've made the corn chowder from your book many times and it's always a hit! Love the flavors and the texture is the best!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Great to hear that, Liz! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@003ttc]

I’m pulling out the cookbook and making these tomorrow. I appreciate the inspiration.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww yay! That makes me so happy to hear :)

[@REDCLAYHOMESTEAD]

I've watch alot of your new videos and just now going back to watch some of your older ones. I like how you style has become more casual over the years.

[@kristaduffy98]

I’ve become absolutely obsessed with your videos! I literally just bought an instantpot and your cookbook! So excited to get it and start using it. (I’m not even vegan now, but moving towards a more plant-based diet) I love you and your videos🥰

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So happy you are enjoying my videos and thank you for your support :) I hope you'll enjoy cooking from my book!

[@emeraldobrien5543]

I can't wait to try these. I'm never opposed to soup (or chowder) in the summer. I'm also not a fan of green pepper at all. Thanks so much for sharing all the recipes you do. You're one of my favourite vegan channels.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thanks Emerald! The chowder is such a good way to enjoy summer corn :) I'm so happy you love my channel too!

[@perennialintrospect9129]

I will definitely be trying out some of your recipes. You're so consistent and I am inspired to keep my new channel going. Thank you. :)

[@Neothefrolic]

I just tried the lentil couscous salad and oh my God I love it! I didn’t have dill and it still tasted delicious, thank you Nisha :) you’ve made my plant based journey so much easier. ❤

[@ManduhBear]

Yummm! I made the corn chowder with fresh local corn and it is amaaaazing! 😍

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So happy you loved it. fresh summer local corn is the BEST!

[@peytonsplace17]

That corn chowder looks divine 😍. I really hope Instant Pot sponsors you because I am highly considering purchasing one 😭

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha you're so sweet! It's such a convenient appliance to have in the kitchen!

[@guilene6]

I love my InstantPot in summer! Can’t wait to try that crumble!

So happy to hear that! It's such a fun and easy recipe.

[@andrewware2942]

This made me finally go out and buy an Instant Pot. Made the corn chowder tonight and hot damn - it was absolutely incredible! Can't wait to make the couscous tomorrow!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Woohoo, I am so happy you loved the corn chowder! Yay! Glad you're getting use out of your instant pot :)

[@yarelibarragan2250]

I made the corn chowder and it was sooo good. I omitted the chilli pepper and added some sugar since I had a sweet tooth tonight and wow, once again your recipes don't fail

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww yay! I am so happy you loved the corn chowder! Thank you for sharing!

[@Navigatingmotherhood]

amazing thanks for all the inspiration!

[@aprilrainx]

I LOVE your cookbook! I've made 2/3 of the recipes from this video. Still need to make the corn chowder, yum!! Thanks for posting!

[@sandygrow5698]

The corn dance made my afternoon! You are too cute and funny!

[@tanlilman]

The corn cob dance was my favorite part. 😂 But seriously...just ordered the cookbook and can't wait for it to arrive. I've been enjoying your channel. Every recipe I have tried has been so delish.

[@saskiavanreenen5317]

I just got an instant pot last week and we are getting hot weather in The Netherlands this week so this is perfect

[@ThePlantBasedKitchen]

I've been debating getting one - these recipes are so convincing!

[@SunnyDaysRComing]

Ugh Nisha you never disappoint! I’m so excited to make all of these recipes!

[@AparnaJain1]

I made the corn chowder from the book, it is so delicious! I love that it has so many veggies! I have more fresh corn to make the soup again today, yum 😋

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Aparna, I'm so glad you love this chowder recipe :) Thanks for sharing!

[@kattigan1]

YUM!!!! I’ve made the corn chowder twice now. Once while camping in the mountains and I grilled the corn over the campfire, and once at home. I wanted that same charred corn taste, but it was raining and we don’t have a gas stove, so I broiled the corn for a few minutes on each side. We’re in Yukon, no fears of heating up the house here! Highly recommend this recipe :)

[@lenbjj13]

Upstate and it is hot here too!! Excellent recipes!!

[@NAF7407]

These all look fantastic! I have your cookbook but haven't tried these recipes yet, but that's about to change!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you Nicole! So nice to hear you have my book :) I hope you'll love these recipes!

[@ajayr8781]

You are a life saviour for men, Nisha. Definitely will be trying your recipes.

[@withhelenblog]

I’m going to have to find a way to fit an instant pot into my kitchen 😆 the corn chowder looks so creamy. I can eat it for the rest of the summer 🤤

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So hard in New York City apartments but I think it's worth it. I think I use mine three or four times a week.

[@anambivalentenemy]

I will be totally honest here Nisha. I love your recipes. But even more than that,i LOVE how smart,sweet,beautiful,spontaneous,funny,witty,and authentic you are. You always make me smile and laugh watching you,and i can watch your videos wether i want to find something new to cook,or not. It's not about cooking,it's about joy here! You fun girl!😎😁

[@lukejackson3901]

Really love your channel Nisha!!!

[@fitleighhill]

I’m all about pearl couscous!! Love love love your recipes!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

It's so good, right? Love the texture. Thank you Tiffany!

[@sravyamb8660]

few comments to make... your corn dance has been your signature dance move for decades haha just different props based on the environment. this couscous salad is one of my favs! This and the herby lentil salads are my go-to salads!! Husband and I make them all the time! they are so yummy and the perfect healthy make ahead meals for work day lunches!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha thank you! I am definitely an adaptable dancer based on my environment lol. So happy you and hubs love the salads!

[@gumsguey]

I both have your cookbook AND have been following you on here for months and just NOW realized you're the same person! Ate the savory tumeric breakfast quinoa this morning and am gonna have the red curry rice noodle soup for lunch! YAY! 😁😁😁😁

[@susieQ666]

i have that book n i must say i use it at least once a week n my favourite is the corn chowder im obsessed ...the lime at the end genius ...works a treat ....i haven't made this desert yet as im not one for deserts but after watching it didn't have a overload of sugar ...so yep gonna try this for sure 💙💛

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Adding a bit of acid at the end of a recipe can make such a big difference! So glad to hear you love the cookbook and I hope you enjoy the crisp!

[@msmintygreen]

Omg the corn chowder looks divine! Totally gonna try that!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

It really is so good! I hope you'll love it as much as we do :)

[@myredslurpee]

Corn dance! I love it!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hehe thank you 🌽 🕺🏽

[@deanmoore7239]

I made the corn chowder yesterday. My wife and I loved it. The only changes I made were swapping cashews for Tahini, as I had no cashews...lol. Next time I make it I'll definitely use cashews, see if there's any taste difference. Thank you so much for the recipe and video.

[@mirkoyonathanciotta8696]

So many great ideas! Here in Berlin is 31C atm and we're boiling... Thanks a lot for the inspiration!

I was just talking about that last night with Max. I'd love to do one over the next few months!

[@miss_m_yt]

RainbowPlantLife yay!

[@Niki.kinddiet]

I know this is an older video, but I made the corn chowder this weekend for friends and it received RAVE REVIEWS. Thank you.

this is my new best friend. One of the RV bloggers I watch ...

[@aditikapoor3576]

I love these videos! Such good work, Nisha! This is out of context but your lip colour looks amazing! I have the same skin tone and was wondering if you could share some wisdom my way x

[@HowToCuisine]

Why I feel like I am seeing this instant pot everywhere recently? 😂 Your recipe looks delicious though, will try to make these at home 😍

[@ReillyWilde]

Greetings from chilly Northern California.🌲 I have been cooking my way through your Vegan IP Cookbook. 😋 Today, I made the Israeli Couscous & Lentils for lunch. We enjoyed it served warm with fresh herbs. (Surprisingly, there’s a small amount of leftovers.) 😉 We are the NorCal Rainbow Plant Life to your SoCal RPL. 🌈🌱🌿Warmest regards, Reilly🍀

[@herbalistklg8017]

loved the video/recipes and the dancing lol

[@margarett_b]

You know what? I have never had a corn chowder! I think it is time I changed that as it looked so good!

[@bridgetanne]

That bell pepper hack ... why have I never done this! Mind blown.

[@ThePlantBasedKitchen]

right tho?!

[@vickil2118]

Hi Nisha. Your salad looks scrumptious. Any suggestions for subbing out the couscous. I, unfortunately, am gluten intolerant. I’m going to make your corn chowder for dinner tonight. And I am subscribing!

[@Thevegan8Recipes]

These are all SO mouthwatering Nisha! I can't wait to make the Israeli couscous, that looks so good! And I laughed out loud at the "I feel bad cutting their nubs off" LMAO!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha thank you Brandi! So happy you had a little laugh :) Happy cooking!

You're an artist..

[@diannepreston5576]

IP foodie nerd here. I've fully enjoyed your cookbook recipes this last year (have even bought the book as gifts) and adore your charming videos, especially when I weave back into more plant-based eating! I'm about to up my crucial utensils game and am curious as to which chef's knife you use and also which saute pans are your faves?? Tyia! :p

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww hi Dianne! That's so nice to hear. I am so happy you love my book and have gifted it to others. I have linked a few of the saute pans + one of the knives I use in the description box below. I also love the knives from Material Kitchen - affordable but very high quality! materialkitchen.com/

[@diannepreston5576]

@@RainbowPlantLife Thanks!! Was close to buying a MAC Pro 8" & now may get the Materials trio for the same $. Starting this corn chowder in a few minutes and then a peach blueberry crisp. *Made the crunch wrap supreme last week & the hubby was soooo happy!

[@davidv6803]

I subscribe to you on KZbin and had bought your book, without realizing you wrote the book! :-)

[@janetswitzer7301]

OK I am going through your cookbook and making the recipes one by one, and this soup is fantastic! I did not Puree at all because I’m making it for someone who likes chunks in their soup, and do you know how good cashews are in soup when they’re soft? This soup is the best corn chowder ever so you named it right.

[@krawlb4walking802]

Just here for the fresh corn 🌽 moves ... now I know what to do with them. Lol.🤣 ( also, thanks for the recipes 🥰)

[@margarett_b]

Pearl couscous is sth I have been trying to find for ages now and I think I will need to purchase it online ;P It seems to be such an awesome ingredient! Especially when made as flavourful as you prepared it! Also, an olive tip: try cutting it around like an avocado (but along the narrower part) and twisting the flesh around the pit- you'll get much ore out of your olives this way! (Same for the nectarines! You can usually twist even less ripe ones if you twist perpendicularly o the stone)

[@sorcerersapprentice]

Love the recipes in this video. Quick Question: Is it possible to swap out the couscous for another grain like quinoa or pot barley? If so, how do I make those adjustments?

[@chapman1569]

Please, can you do a recipe for vegetable broth? I like your channel and your humor. Thanks

[@dianegiordano7365]

I love watching you cook! Do you have recipes that don’t have cashews? I am allergic to cashews and pistachios.

[@1024specialkay]

can i make these recipes on the stove? I don't have an instant pot and they look so good!

[@erikanichols9633]

This is great. May I make individual recipes with my Pampered chef pressure cooker and share the videos? I will link to this video. I sell PC and want to encourage my customers to do more plant based but want permission because you made these recipes

[@texasmarshalls]

Please do more Instapot recipes!!!

[@drvincentesposito]

"Kinda gross" is an understatement to describe the last couple of weeks here in New York!😂 That corn chowder, though, looks out of bounds! I'm going to give that one a go sometime very soon!
