Reviewing Nisha Vora’s Big Vegan Flavor | Family Taste Test!

We made scrambled shakshuka and it didn't look as bad as yours.
Like the one you made looked so pale and tasteless. We did use some oil , cooked for a Lil longer but it turned out so good that we ate it all in one go (which normally doesn't happen). Your tomatoes didn't melt into the dish, looked kinda off .
Your cooking technique is probably flawed becuz making something that good look that bad should be a crime!

Nisha has a recipe on her channel to make mushroom haters like mushrooms; I HATED them for 33years, after cooking them the way Nisha suggested slowly started to like them-now eat them every week, and have gone from only tiiiiny crispy mushrooms to sliced mushroom 😂 still can't stand the whole/quartered ones that are basically boiled in their own juice but I am greatful to find a way to enjoy these super nutritional funky dudes! ❤ Recommend to anyone who has a 🍄 aversion 🎉

Amazon has a mild harissa paste that is super flavorful with zero heat.

umeboshi — OO-MAY-BO-SHE
It's pickled Japanese plum (ume). It''s tart and briny and packs a serious punch. If you have an Asian/international grocery near you, get some!

Just received my copy of this book, and Chef AJs dessert book!! Love Nisha and her channel. She does use a lot of oil, and spices that might be hard to find, but generally great tasty recipes. Great reviews as usual!! Glad to see Rufus…was worried about him!!

Yay! Glad you liked this so much; i love all of her recipes I have tried.

I have a question about aquafava- do you find it makes you really gassy? What about beans in general? I've gotten better with them but they always make my partner and I gassy so we usually soak and discard the water yet I keep hearing about how great aquafava is.

Let me know your thoughts 😊

If you try the shakshuka again… I highly recommend topping with Kalamata olives (if you like them) and definitely fresh parsley. And for the harissa paste, we like the Dea harissa paste but have to order it online. 🙂

So I’m wondering what your definition of “whole food, plant-based” is, because it appears that your definition is oil-free. For me Nisha’s cookbook is already whole food, plant-based. Just checking.

Thanks for the review. Would you say, if I am already a whole food plant based expert level (imho, haha) cook that my sticking to her YouTube recipes is probably my route? It seems like 3/4 of the book probably isn’t meant for me.

I love Nisha’s absolute dislike of green bell pepper. Her comments about them on her channel crack me up

Thanks for doing this one! I’m a big Nisha fan and subscribe to her weekly meal plans. I thought I was a pretty good cook but she has made me so much better. Can’t wait to try some things in this book which is just a masterpiece in my opinion. Thanks for showing the swaps. You’ve made me more adventurous as far as adapting for no oil!

Does anyone have suggestions about what to swap for coconut milk and coconut cream? I’m trying to avoid it because it is high (relatively speaking) in saturated fat.

THANK YOU. the few recipes i have tried from Nisha have ALL been spicy. Not for everyone for sure and not for little kids! I wish she had less spicy recipes. the flavor is good, but the level of spice is just a big NO for me. Also she uses a ton of unhealthy (although vegan) and difficult to find ingredients. Again a big NO for me unfortunately. The book is going back

About the eggplant — something I learned recently was that our bodies are designed to dislike any new foods or flavors to protect us from potential toxins from our foraging days. You can get around this by trying something 8-10 times on different days (you can sneak it in in little bites) and then you will likely find you start liking it! Not always, but most of the time. This happened to me with eggplants, beets, radish, and licorice. I now love all of those foods! But I used to pick them off of any dish or avoid them at all costs before.

Cannot wait to try some of her recipes! Love the substitutions. Also, thank you for the Lentil Stew and Mash recipe. I made it and it was pretty good. Gave it an A-.

Yeah, when I use canned tomatoes, I have to run the tomatoes just a little in my food processor, my husband is such a child! Just like he won’t eat the peppers when I make stuffed peppers, so I usually make unstuffed peppers. The exact same ingredients, I just cut up the peppers and throw everything in a pot. Easier for me, and everyone loves it.
