What I Eat in a Week: The Vegan Instant Pot Review | Nisha Vora Plant-Based Vegan

[@Suemooski]

I really love how you do these cookbook reviews,I think they're really helpful

[@pbwithjeremy]

I'm so glad!

[@jillianvanliew]

That is so cool that you FIXED your Instant Pot!!

[@JW-tz7ui]

Such a lovable geek!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awwww

[@pbwithjeremy]

I'm the most shocked of all of us!

[@amycardona3751]

I love this book and have been cooking from it for a few years. I have a few favorites I make frequently, like the braised cabbage, Mexican beans, shepherd’s pie, Tex mex brown rice and lentils, and the ratatouille. Others I really like but don’t make often-baked beans on toast, pho, sweet potato bread pudding. I do think some of the recipes are quite complex-so many ingredients! So sometimes I modify the ingredients but mostly I save this book when I have more time.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for all this intel and thoughts!

[@sacredsortilege]

I've learned to use 1.5x or 2x the spices and seasonings most recipes call for. I know that chefs and foodies generally use much fresher and better quality spices than I keep around my house!

[@RonsonDalby]

It’s not just, I think, it’s also - like processed food - that the final product tends to favour mild to medium palates when it comes to spices and seasonings.

[@eileenmi2935]

I agree with your closing review and the recommendation about borrowing first. My daughter-in-law borrowed it from the library and liked it so much that she asked me to buy it for her for Christmas. The recipes are generally tasty but as you said, not quick and easy. From memory, most have at least 10 ingredients. Our kitchens are now fully stocked with Indian spices and many specialty ingredients, which helps.

[@pbwithjeremy]

You’re set now!

[@dianawest7863]

I’ve made quite a few recipes from this book that we’ve enjoyed. You definitely have to read through the lengthy description before getting started though. Her mushroom risotto is a go to for us although I don’t use oil or the miso & butter topping. I often sub out the mushrooms for whatever veg I have on hand. You and your family are much appreciated Jeremy!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you!

[@sandracarli1110]

Buckwheat slime is healthy and full of minerals just like oat slime. ;) I love toasting buckwheat in a saucepan without oil and then use it together with poppy seeds, date paste fruits and yoghurt to use it as a granola. It's really yummy! I follow Nisha on KZbin. Before trying a recipe I divide the ingredients in groups so that I can follow a simple structure and add the ingredients more easily.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tips on buckwheat slime!

[@candicec2294]

I’m a huge fan of the Rainbow Plant Life KZbin channel and her website! Her tofu scramble on her website is the bomb! I enjoy it almost every weekend! I purchased some of her ebooks, which I really enjoy for ideas and variety. I do agree with your review about the steps in this book. I don’t cook from it often because of that reason. Like all of my cookbooks I have my favorite recipes and recipes I won’t make again.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for sharing. I love her too :)

[@noramaddock4165]

My whole KZbin channel is overloaded with sooooo many IP meals! It is just way too easy, and has been a huge part of our family of 4 being able to maintain a WFPB way of eating for the past 14 years.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Nice! What are your go-to meals?

[@dianeschuller]

I'm so glad you did this cookbook. I also really appreciate your frank summary of the recipes. It seems the flavours would certainly be up our flavour alley. PS: From my experience, I always add less water/liquid called for in recipes that go into the Instant Pot. There is so much liquid from the condensation that normally doesn't happen when cooked on the stovetop. Thanks, as always to you and your family.

[@pbwithjeremy]

THAT'S A GREAT TIP (re: water) Glad you enjoyed this! Hi from The LaLonde's!

[@lovelovinghorses]

I just want to say that I LOVE your videos. I have enjoyed every single one that I have watched so far. I only found you about two weeks ago, but I am now going through all your videos ❤

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you so much! And welcome aboard! I'll likely start reposting some of the REALLY old ones for fun with new intros sometime soon

[@cusebaby10]

#Team Jeremy & awesome job at repairing your IP, I was very impressed! I love your content & your family, but this series is my favorite on your channel. Thank you for always being adventurous and trying new things! Otherwise, life would be boring! Hello from Syracuse, NY! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks so much! More to come!!!

[@mary_syl]

About the Indian rice: if you substitute white basmati with brown rice, it will affect the flavors - you need more of them. White rice absorbs flavors differently from dense brown rice. That's why across the Middle East and Asia foods like curries and biryanis require white rice that's very flavour absorbant. 👍

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tip!

[@k.h.6991]

I bought the cookbook as a thank you to Nisha. I'm glad I did: I actually repeat recipes from this. Usually I just read recipes and do my own thing.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Wonderful!

[@user-nr5he3ic9o]

OMG the way your doggie trots along on a walk just melts my heart.

[@pbwithjeremy]

[@breejeanne]

I make the frijoles out of this book (page 129) pretty much weekly, it's a family favorite here!

[@PlantsandRecreation]

The cookbook reviews are my favorite videos on your channel. This one was no exception!! Loved it. And nice job fixing your instant pot! That was very impressive!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks so much! I'm still sorta shocked that it continues to work :)

[@BirdieMcLovin]

Love these cookbook reviews! Also you have a lovely family. Glad I found this channel!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@khristiana4ever]

I’m excited for you to review this cookbook, I just started cooking out of it as well and can’t wait to see your take on it! :D

[@pbwithjeremy]

One more sleep!!!

[@val8046]

Can you please review Supermarket Vegan cookbook ?

[@pbwithjeremy]

Wow - that's an oldie! Added to the list!

[@khristiana4ever]

I have this cookbook and agree, the steps and multiple ingredients are sometimes intimidating, but they are really delicious. So happy you reviewed this one, you made some recipes I haven’t tried yet and I’m eager to get cooking. Another solid and awesome review video! Thanks!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you!!

[@shantra9870]

Nisha's recipes are among my favorite!

[@MauraMarcus]

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for sharing this!!!!

[@judysilverman1787]

I've had it sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. I bought it shortly after I went vegan but have never used it, although I love her and follow her on KZbin and Instagram and subscribe to her newsletter. I'll have to get it out and try some things and see what I think. I'm from Florida.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hey Judy - dust it off and let me know what you try!!!

[@charlenebishop7530]

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awesome! Thank you! So happy to have you here :)

[@tanyalalonde733]

Love Nisha's KZbin channel, this makes me want to buy an instant pot for sure. Glad you were able to fix your Instant pot, it's always a great feeling when you can fix something rather than throw it out. Great Job!!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks! I felt like a rockstar!

[@kefirheals7383]

I'm always amazed at your enthusiasm when reviewing these different cookbooks. It's very much appreciated also. I'm taking your advice on this one - I'm going to see if I can check it out at the library. I "almost' went straight to Amazon to order it, but then decided to wait and watch the whole episode. Glad I did. Most of the recipes looked pretty delicious! Your son, as always, was quite agreeable and gave good reviews. That sticky rice dessert looked yummy. Thanks Jeremy!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you! I have a lot of fun doing it - so glad the enthusiasm come across as genuine :) Let me know what you try!

[@amyjacob2100]

Ordered it from my local library. I’ve made her pumpkin lasagna soup recipe from her website several times and it’s amazing. Looking forward to trying more of the instant pot recipes. Thank you for the review!

[@pbwithjeremy]

THat soup sounds fantastic!!!!

[@katrinamonterroso7599]

Im so surprised this cookbook didnt go over better! Love your familys honesty though

[@pbwithjeremy]

We liked it more than we didn't I think - I was also avoiding recipes that were too similar to ones we already did in other videos.

[@katrinamonterroso7599]

Makes sense! Just meant I was surprised most of them were a good but not great/amazing rating for the most part. So far fun bad... but thought for sure this would be a huge hit 😂

[@pbwithjeremy]

Same!

[@winonadavies9201]

Great review! One suggestion to take the springform out is to fold a strip of foil into a long strap that goes under the pan and sticks up the sides before putting it in the instantpot. Then you can grab the foil strap to take it out. Mmmmm. I love Thai sticky rice! Edited to add...it's always amazing how different people have different tastes with food. I love some of the dishes your family disliked, but am not a fan of some you all loved.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Opposite taste buds!!! Thanks for the tip on the tin foil!

[@darshaenns4900]

Jeremy! I’ve been watching your content for a few months now and I love your enthusiasm for eating vegan/ plant based and how fun your family is! A big hello from Kansas! I was watching along and I just so happen to be making peanut stew as well! I do it in the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7ish and it is wonderful as well. Thanks for all your work 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for writing!!! That stew sounds lovely :) Slow cooked sweet potatoes??!

[@kengaskins5083]

Personally, my two favorite vegan podcasts are healthyveganeating and Rachel Ama. The recipes are easy to do overall and stuff I typically eat. I think this author/podcaster is more geared toward people with more time & patience to cook, like a lot of the podcasters. I'm sure the dishes are scrumptious and once I have more time, I plan on upping my time in the kitchen as well (I'll likely get the book). Appreciate your reviews and podcasts!

[@pbwithjeremy]

My pleasure!

[@niteaallen4115]

Great video Jeremy, I love you and your families honest reviews ! And I love Nisha she has great recipes. I also have this cookbook and cook a lot of her instant pot recipes off of her recipe. But I do not have an instant pot so instead I just use stove top or oven. Thanks for this video!

[@jenwylie4093]

I love Nisha's channel. I saw the book come up on book outlet, so I had to buy it... but I have a 3 year old, so I haven't had time to try cooking anything yet. Thanks for doing a review!! I'm always interested what your family thinks about cookbooks. It's hard to please kids so it's nice to see mine isn't the only one not liking my cooking.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for this! I'm just glad they're willing to try stuff - that's the main rule in our house :) They're pretty adventerous for the most part :)

Hi there Jeremy I forgot the name of the cookbook, but I just made potatoe chips in the microwave for breakfast. It changed my world!! Thank you for all your cooking efforts and designs I am a subscriber as of last week. Nonna from Connecticut😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

Brand New Vegan is the book! Our newest video - glad to have you in our channel' community! Chips for breakfast - fun :)

[@sheilab9572]

Thanks for reviewing this book. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted this book in my collection. But with your review you reminded me of how Nisha likes to use cashews and almond butter and I am allergic to nuts. Oh well. I will stick to her food blog where I can know in advance whether recipes contain nuts

[@pbwithjeremy]

Glad we could help - I love her stuff personally - but can understand how your allergies make some of her stuff challenging.

[@tracieburrill5159]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do this! You said your family has a great lasagna recipe. Do you have a video of it on here? If not, you should!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Not yet - will aim to do it something soon - we do have a lasagna recipe coming up in a video this weekend though....

[@nubiavarner967]

Your reaction was awesome after fixing your instant pot

[@pbwithjeremy]

I'm still shocked it worked! :)

[@koppakabana]

Love this video and your channel! A couple of notes that may provide context: 1) most Indian words with a “t” are pronounced with a soft “th” sound, i.e. rai-th-a 2) in the biryani, the fat is what carries the flavor of the spices through the dish. By not using oil, the spices will not permeate through the dish so more quantity of spices may be useful. Same with the tadka, no oil leads to less flavor as fat carries the flavor through the dish.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tips! THough, wouldn't something like aquafaba or other liquids help to carrie the flavor? I've never heard that concept before ....

[@koppakabana]

Hi again. So like fat soluble vitamins, many spices - not herbs - contain fat soluble molecules that when infused in a fat like oil, release their flavors more robustly than if ground and included in a dish without fat. Because Aquafaba is quite low in fat in comparison to oil, it doesn’t have the same flavor effect as blooming whole and ground spices in oil. There are some great articles by serious eats and cook’s illustrated on this. Also, vegan richa has an article on cooking Indian food without oil which also goes into how flavor is dampened. Hope this provides more context.

[@jme928]

I found this book at the thrift store and honestly I haven’t cooked from it yet because there’s SO many ingredients in almost every recipe. Like most busy parents these days especially with the cost of food I try to find recipes with fewer ingredients. E said it best “too many ingredients. Like they cancel each other out”. You don’t always need 15 plus items to bring forth delicious flavors.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Agreed. I do think if the bulk are different spices it makes sense - you're making a spice blend - but otherwise sometimes less is more.

[@marlahansen3953]

Great video. My husband and I live nomadically in our motorhome and don’t have an oven. Had heard of the pot in pot cooking method but it was great to see it in action! I definitely will take inspiration from this video for trying things like lasagna in the instant pot. I have the air fryer lid so can easily broil the top cheese by just changing lids. Greetings from North Dakota’s Sugar Beet Harvest!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh man - that sounds like an awesome way to live! Tell me more about this Sugar Beet Harvest!

[@marlahansen3953]

@@pbwithjeremy Crystal sugar hires a few hundred RVers each year to come and help them with their beet harvest for the month of October. It really helps you understand just how processed sugar is when you handle the beet that comes out of the ground compared to sugar you buy at the grocery store! (All the beets are machine picked, we are hired to direct the hundreds of truckloads a day that come to dump their beets into piles to await processing at the factory.)

I’m glad you did this one. I’m not into complicated recipes anymore. Kinda hard with a dyslexic hubby trying to read recipes to me. I didn’t get a lot of instant pot instructions out of this review.

Waving it in front of my tongue can be considered tasting. 😉

[@rhondanickerson1541]

Usually love her recipes as well. Agree with some of your points here. I've made quite a few from that cookbook that were wonderful and from her blog. Every not and then have to tweak something for my family's tastes though for sure. Have not made a bunch from the book though because they are so long. Family favorites are the Game day black beans,the plain steel cut oats,take out tofu & broccoli, Mexican Pinto(upping the spices),Lentil Shepherd's pie, One-Pot Bolognese Pasta with some tweaks.

[@lauribleu7558]

I try not to comment on videos that were shown too long ago. In this case, it's been five months, but this is kinda an important thing re: oats. I keep an extensive list of ingredients broken down into grams, macro categories (that includes four types of carb, btw), and calories, all for the purpose of using them in a spreadsheet I designed years ago as a meal/recipe planner. Why do I do this? A long time ago I was trained to think of nutrition in the diabetes framework of exchanges, and I still think this way. Over the years, I transitioned to thinking in terms of grams instead of ounces, but that's another story. So here's the deal with oatmeal: An exchange of grains (equivalent of one slice of bread) is defined as 15 g of carb, 3 g of protein, and about 80 calories. Fat is negligible in this case. Steel cut-oats is 15 g carb, 2 g of protein, and 70 calories. It's a little shy of the definition but close enough.1/4 cup of rolled oats are 13.98 g of carb, 2.65 g of protein, and 76.75 calories. Closer than the 2 tbl of steel-cut oats, but close enough to make things easier. So, TL/DR version: When switching out steel-cut oats for rolled oats, double the amount. That should take care of that soupy problem and yield a similar amount of macro nutrients.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for this. I tend to do 1/3 cut to 1/2 cup

[@NAF7407]

Great video! I have this book but mostly use it for cooking ratios and times for beans/grains because as you point out, the recipes are pretty complex and often not really optimally made in an Instant Pot. I think the book would be better if it was aimed to be either easy instant pot recipes -- since a lot of people buy an instant pot to make cooking easier -- or to make it for the audience you suggest, people who don't have a stove, in which case the recipes need to be tweaked to avoid calling for things to be made on the stove. Also, some coconut milks won't firm up/separate when put in the fridge if they have emulsifiers added to keep the product mixed together/consistent.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for all of this - and must agreed!

[@purplepolly71]

These videos are really helpful and helping me to control my recipe book addiction. Would like to see you try out one of Sam Turnbull's books (of It doesn't taste like chicken). Seems like her recipes would be more popular with the children. Watching from the Midlands in the UK.

[@1auntievenom]

Brilliant hack with rhe aquafaba. I use it all the time for all sorts of stuff but never would have thought of that I wonder if I could use aquafaba instead of oil in a magic shell to make frozen banana a tad more healthy. That book is one of my faves. I have many books too but I pretty much only cook on the weekends. I work ten hour days and am a solo empty nester so I have no shame in that. My fave recipe in there that I make all the time is the white bean stew. Her cheese sauce is also a staple as it is the best I have tried in my 7, almost 8 years vegan. I leave out the coconut cream though. It is fatty enough for me with only the cashews.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I've never used it with chocolate in lieu of oil, so I'd be curious to find out... give it a shot!!!! If you ever want to try a new cheese sauce, this one of mine is preeeeeeeeety killer: pbwithj.ca/recipe/how-to-make-plant-based-cheese/

Okay, Beth Ann here from Kansas City! (Go Chiefs! 🏈) Even though I am single, I feel like you and don’t cook all the recipes in the Instant Pot either, but it was handy during a storm once when I didn’t have electricity for days and could use a portable station to cook my instant pot on. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m gonna try a few you mentioned here, and try some others have mentioned in the comments. Also, my friend found this book very useful in her dorm, in a situation like you mentioned so if you have a college kid keep that in mind.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for all of this!!!! I think this would be great for sure for a college kid!

[@lauraz8349]

Looking forward to this! I thought of suggestions for book reviews: Afro Vegan, The Korean Vegan, Provecho, and Mississippi Vegan. :)

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the idea of these books from different regions! Some of these were already on the list, but I'm excited to dive into ALL of them at some point!

[@lauraz8349]

Yay! Also East by Meera Sodha might be on interest. (It's vegetarian and vegan, but mostly vegan....) Looking forward to your wfpb take on these recipes. @@pbwithjeremy

[@candicec2294]

I have copies of The Korean Vegan and Mississippi Vegan. I haven’t cooked from them yet. I’d love to see a review! I think Annie would like recipes from Lauren Toyota’s Vegan Comfort Classics.

[@pbwithjeremy]

That is a BOLD claim! Adding both of these to my list!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Added to the list :)

[@Vegannan]

Nice to see these recipes adapted, Nisha uses oil in just about every recipe. Thank you ❤

[@pbwithjeremy]

Yeah - she's a flavour queen, but I don't think she realizes that some people struggle with weight challenges and don't know you can adapt.

Hello from thw Westcoast, Vancouver BC. I really enjoy your family's reactions. Thanks for the great content. I like these book reviews. I often get cookbooks from the library before I decide to purchase it. Books are not always cheap,. That sticky rice recipe looked interesting. Keep up the great work. 👍 😂

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awesome thank you!

[@sylviajansen2544]

A fantastic book review and I have fallen in love 💕 with my instant pot 😆. Love 🥰 this channel and love 😍whole plant foods. I am a new subscriber late to the party.

Never too late - welcome! And thanks for sharing!

I was happy to see the review for this book. On her website, I’ve been making her red lentil curry and it is the absolute best I’ve ever tried. Have you reviewed “Oh She Glows” by Angela Liddon - a fellow Canadian.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I haven't yet - but have her app and we use her books a lot - so we're fairly familiar with him - but I should do her for a review for sure!

[@erinbiskup9283]

I got this book from the library when it first came out and was soooo excited about it, because I love cooking in my instant pot! Until I tried the first recipe I chose. It literally took me 3 times the amount of time stated in the recipe! I’ve since made a few recipes from her beautiful website and KZbin and have had similar experiences…long time in the making but usually delicious. I’ve also had a hard time sourcing some ingredients and now I have lots of spices that I’m thinking I’ll never use again. Oh well, fun trying new things! When I have the time…

[@pbwithjeremy]

I agree - I love her ideas, but they aren't practical for most people who live busy lives and have kids, etc....

[@sandramay4834]

Great video thanks for the review.

Thanks for watching!

Kitchener market, are you referring to the St. Jacob’s market? I love that market on a Saturday morning.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Nope - there's one in Kitchener - 300 King Street East - we love the St. Jacobs one too - it's just a little further away from our farm in Kitchener.

[@melanygalvez9192]

I have had a LOT of vegan cookbooks over the past 15+ years. This one is in my top 5! That being said, I have never attempted any of the desserts or lasagne since they seem like too much work and I’m also intimidated by pot in pot. I also get the burn notice when I try oatmeal :/ I really need to try that peanut stew recipe now!

[@Lushious_Curls_LLC37]

The GF Oreo in the USA too... 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 BTW, I binge watch your channel ALL DAY LONG. Today it started at 4am... I don't know why but I'm not mad at it, because my days are happy with your videos. I just feel like part of your family and I am getting a second chance to sit under a mom and dad teaching me the RIGHT WAY to eat and live... (my mom prioritized bluebell ice cream and cakes and other sweets over healthy eating, so if I wanted to eat good, I had to go to auntie and she taught me how to cook. I know I'm not a family member, but it is a good dream to have and I get to just glean from all your wisdom and fun with food and family. I hope I'm not too weird for saying this, but if I am, I would not be surprised. I see my future and it is bright because of your life mission and your family, so thank you.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Wow! Thanks for spending your morning with us! Glad that we've made you feel like part of our family! You're certainly part of our community and we're glad to have you :) Your future IS bright! Don't be shy about letting us know what you need while on this journey. You've got this :)

When my son was little he loved ravioli but was diagnosed with celiac disease. When he was about 6 my mother found some frozen tortellini at a local shop and bought 4 packs for him. Several weeks later he asked to have tortellini for dinner but we had already used the last. He called his grandma and wailed "Grandma! How could you let this happen?!"

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh wow I love this story. Thanks for sharing :)

Good for you fixing your Instant Pot! I finally bought one yesterday on Amazon on prime deal day. I am so excited to make yogurt and bake something in it! I also used Aquafaba to dip cubes of tofu in and then breaded it and baked it. Really worked and very good outcome. I put it in a towel before to get the water out. I am learning so much from you and you are definitely influencing me to be more creative in the kitchen. I even made a dressing with the 4 tastes in it (sweet, acid, fat, and what’s the 4th taste?) Haha, yes, I have heard the pickle jar story. Really enjoyed this video, thanks!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Sour is the fourth taste! What was your dressing? How did it turn out?

[@pbwithjeremy]

So glad you're learning from the channel - that's what we're here for! And congrats on being the owner of an IP - you'll use it a LOT if you're anything like us. Such a handy tool! So happy we're inspiring you to be creative in the kitchen!

@@pbwithjeremy I blended avocado, dates, fresh orange, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic powder. It was OK, not enough oomph, so I need to practice more. If Annie can do it, so can I! 👍🤩

When you were making the Indian dish with the whole Connie and cloves, I noticed that really cool instant pot was Star Wars Themed! I totally love and respect her choice of pretty awesome Merchandise that was chosen.
