Happiest birthday to Max!! He's not only the talented man behind the camera, he's also my best friend, partner in life, biggest support system, and the reason Rainbow Plant Life is able to not only exist but thrive.

He also makes me laugh and feel loved every hour of the day, and I feel so lucky to move through life with him 🥹

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!

I’m working on exciting cabbage recipes for the upcoming colder months (yes, cabbage can be v. exciting!).

Do you have any questions about cooking cabbage?

What’s your favorite humble or underrated vegetable?

What is your favorite store-bought vegan ice cream (brand + flavor)?

Lately, I've been into Jeni's dairy-free line, esp. the lemon bar and texas sheet cake flavors.

And for my fellow So Cal residents, the vegan options at Stella Jean’s are fabulous. Pictured here: strawberry oat crumble (peak 90s nostalgia).
