Hi, I’m Nisha, and I’m excited to help you master vegan cooking at home!
At Rainbow Plant Life, I share everything from fancy date-night meals to Indian dishes from my childhood to meal prep guides that will help you eat well all week long. My goal is for you to become the best plant-based home cook you can be.
I'd love to hear from you - drop me a message in the comments or on Instagram!

Not sue what to cook for the holidays? I've got you covered with my roundup of 40 vegan recipes that are perfect for the Christmas season 🎄rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-christmas-recipes/
Some personal faves:
1. Hot Chocolate: a luxe, grown-up version that's SO good (I like to add a little bit of whipped topping and shave some mint dark chocolate on top for peppermint chocolate vibes)
2. Vegan Moussaka: layers of roasted potatoes and eggplant, spiced "meat sauce," and a super rich bechamel sauce (I'm making it tonight for a holiday dinner!).
3. Vegan Wellington: A deeply savory loaf gets wrapped in flaky golden pastry. It is mega comforting.
4. Hazelnut Fudge: 6 ingredients, easy to make, and tastes like a Ferrero Rocher!
5. Scalloped Potatoes: Cheesy, creamy and melt-in-your-mouth potatoes. Need I say more?
I first fell in love cooking by making holiday dinners for my family and friends, so reading your reviews and hearing what you make for your holiday dinners is so special. Thank you for trusting my recipes and sharing them with your loved ones 🫶🏽

Last week, we sent out an email to my newsletter and promised that if 100 people responded to the email, Max would bake me the Celebration Cake from my cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor, for my birthday.
We got more responses than we could imagine, so Max got to work on baking the cake.
He has never baked anything in his life, not even break-apart cookie dough.
But, he read through the recipe a few times, followed the directions, and didn’t ask for help once…and the cake turned out *amazing.* The texture, the flavor, the frosting–everything was spot on.
Swipe through to see Max’s advice to novice bakers, plus the original photo from the cookbook!
