Big Vegan Flavor: Techniques and 150 Recipes to Master Vegan Cooking

I truly enjoyed reading this book and learnt so much from it. I am not vegan but I am interested in learning how to cook plant-based food better. I think this book is great for both vegans and non vegans. The recipes are tasty, exciting and creative. Some recipes are quite involved. In the first part of the book there is plenty of useful information on ingredients and cooking methods. I knew the author from her food blog. She is so knowledgeable, passionate about her job, fun and sweet. I love her writing style. This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever read. An impressive labour of cooking love.

Very large, heavy tome. Excellent as a reference book, but difficult to use when following a recipe. Worth buying for the information given.

The best recipe for cooking beans ever is in this book and it would be worth it for that discovery alone. I have a lot of vegan cookbooks and this one stands out massively above the rest; it's a detailed labour of love and enthusiasm. And that baked bean recipe is the simplest, no stressy recipe for having a wonderful dish (freezes well, too) EVER.

I’m giving this five stars as it’s an utterly fantastic cookbook .. so much thought and effort and detail . Quite amazing However .. before I bought it I had misgivings .. would this be a book just for a brilliant home chefs ? Would there be too many ingredients? Would there be too much detail? For me the answer was yes I’m afraid There are certainly wonderful concoctions in this brilliant book yet none that I felt the desire to make But that’s just me I encourage you to buy it though as it’s certainly a credit to the creator It will certainly look great on your coffee table.

I’ve used her recipes for many years so it made sense to buy her book. Loved everything we’ve tried. Highly recommend even if you’re not vegan.

In my long relationship with cooking, I have never felt the need to READ a Cookbook from cover to cover, but this book is packed full with knowledge, tips, and AMAZING recipes, I didn't want to miss a single thing, and I'm glad I made that choice. I would consider myself to be a good cook, but I have learnt a lot that has really changed the way I approach each meal after reading/studying this book. There are plenty of recipes to suit most needs, if not all, when it comes to vegan cooking. Each recipe has plenty of detail, easy to follow steps, and an 'alternative' option for those that can't add certain ingredients like nuts and soy to the food. You can tell it has had a lot of time and effort put into it, it's fantastic! All in all, this is by far the best vegan Cookbook I have, and I have many! An easy 5 stars ✨

This cookbook is a worthwhile investment for anyone wanting to up their plant-based cooking game. I came to Nisha through recipes on her Rainbow Plant Life site, several which really impressed. I decided to order her book to get some more great meal recipes. At first I only found myself leafing through it; while the recipes looked good, there were a lot of components of a meal (or complex big dishes that required several recipes) that didn’t suit my weeknight cooking style. That all changed when my husband had an accident and was off work (and immobile) for three months. Not only did I have to cook every single meal while working full time, I also had to get more budget conscious and plan ways to use up my cupboard supplies and prep meals for quick assembly. Surprisingly enough, I found myself turning to the book more and more as I realized I could make a couple of recipes on the weekend, and then use them as components for multiple meals through the week. Each time I went grocery shopping i’d get a new less-common ingredient from the book, and quickly built up enough to assemble a lot of dishes with common ingredients I already had. I agree with other reviewers who say that the way the recipes are explained and the different variations definitely improved my ability cook outside a given recipe. Suddenly I found myself more confident in adapting recipes to what I had available, or just assembling a delicious meal from components in the fridge using techniques from the book. My husband is recovered now but I still use this book regularly and highly recommend it!

This is one of the best cook books I've ever read. I'm not vegan, I just wanted to eat more plant-based food. This is showing me how to do that without compromising on taste or texture. Well worth the price, if you want to learn how to get the most out of your ingredients, then read this.

What beautiful and complete book! I am not a vegan but loved pics and cannot wait to try these recipes

Hermoso libro.

Nisha Vora (also known as Rainbow Plant Life on Instagram) has created such a wonderful cookbook replete with excellent tips, awesome scrumptious recipes and helpful information about ingredients and cooking methods! This is truly my new go-to vegan cookbook and I cannot recommend it enough. Such a labour of love too—it's a beautiful tome that I guarantee you will return to time and time again!

What I love: EVERYTHING This is the most comprehensive cookbook with the most insights I have ever seen. I have been following Nisha for a while and I was super excited for her cookbook and it surpassed my expectations by far. The book is in a Lego Style, teaching you about how flavors develop, which ones work well together, which order to add food etc…. I cook and bake a lot, but before it was more traditional German food and random Pinterest recipes, but now I actually just use different Lego parts of the book to throw together new foods. I started to be able to just randomly combine food from the fridge and make it taste amazing through condiments from the cookbook that I had prepared before - the whipped tofu and chili oil are my go to for everything!! And for the first time I actually understand how to make tofu taste amazing. And the cherry on top, my meat-loving boyfriend said and I quote „your cooking proves I chose the right woman to marry“ he hypes me up after each meal, it’s amazing! Thanks Nisha ;) In my opinion, this cookbook is worth much more than 50€, so the roughly 30 bucks are a steal!

I absolutely love Nisha’s latest cookbook. Not only it is very informative, filled with excellent advice and delicious recipes but it is also stunning. Could not recommend it more to both non-vegans and vegans alike ✨ The only issue is that the book arrived slightly damaged due to poor packaging on Amazon’s part.
