    You are possibly the best vegan chef out there!! In the world of reels and shorts your long form, rich and detailed content stands tall 🗼🗼🗼 Such a fabulous video 😍😍😍
  • Things about this video I absolutely adore, ranked in reverse order: 4. The gorgeous morning light shots (seriously, wow) 3. The completely unexpected accent 2. The cameo from your dad 1. The actually creative seasonal recipes. I'm already making my grocery list for the week. Thanks, Nisha!!!
  • @Kaillyne
    So I tried the Lemon Asparagus pasta and let me tell you, capers and beans are NOT optional, this food is fucking amazing!!! I had so many doubts because my husband doesn't like strong lemony flavors, but the whole pack of pasta was gone by the end of the day with just the two of us!! :D Thanks for the recipe <3
  • @jsnwayne
    And another thing, I've concluded Nisha is the most endearing of all the vegan YouTube chefs, just so pleasant to watch and listen to. Always looking forward to the next video. Byeee!
  • I love how accessible and approachable truly all of your recipes (these included) are. Whenever someone asks me for vegan meal ideas, I always direct them to your blog and social media—admittedly, the mushroom stroganoff recipe. I’ve turned several non-vegan heads over the years with that one 😂 Of all the vegan content producers I’ve found online, nobody comes close to how entertaining you are while simultaneously offering 100% free meal and recipe ideas that a home cook can pick up with ease, all with realistic ingredients that you don’t need to spend $1000 on. Thank you for all you share!
  • I tried the lemony soup (last recipe) and it was amazing! My new obssesion. Also, my 3 year old loved it, he was asking for more, so thats a big bonus point :)
  • @GreenGretel
    Because I was going to the grocery store today anyway, on a whim I decided to make that tofu "ricotta" toast with spring pea salad, and it was SO good! I used some thick-cut rosemary sourdough loaf from the grocery bakery as my toast. Only adjustment I made was cooking the peas a few minutes longer.
  • I love the way your brain thinks about food, so creative and always so refreshing. Thank you for sharing with us!
  • @jonicabeird4657
    When you popped up behind Kate and Meghan..😂😂😂😂so funny!! Always look forward to your videos.
  • @joelle1022
    I can't believe I get to watch this for free. You, your food, and your production values are ✨stunning✨
  • @Ynnsie
    You da best, Nisha. I LOVED your Meal Plan and only stopped because a new project has taken over my life. While I appreciate that you're sharing and not always shilling your Meal plan, I do think it's a Public Service for you to TELL THE PEOPLE that they can have more of your delicious, healthy, superb recipes by signing up for the Meal Plan. It's worth it, folks! Support this woman. She's endlessly creative. (decidedly not a paid review - I'm in Toronto, far, far from anywhere where there are Spring Veg in farmers' markets)
  • @k8te_iv
    Love the new aesthetic of your videos! And big thanks for these inspiring recipes 💛 Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮
  • @johndough8219
    Another tip for preparing asparagus...much of the toughness is the outer skin. If you use a peeler to take it off of the lower section of the stalk, it makes it edible and saves food waste. You can also use whatever you have left to make soup either the bits or peels. I just cook it down, blitz it up and filter what's left to get rid of the tough fibers. That way you waste even less.
  • @TJ-kz1ul
    Second comment---the soup, oh you have outdone yourself!!! I make so many of your recipes because they are always tasty!! My meat-loving husband loves your curry, and your tofu ricotta. He's coming home from a very stressful time at work (tax season in Canada and he's been working very long hours since mid-February!!) and I am surprising him with this soup. Delicious!! I have sourdough bread rising, can't wait to eat it with this soup tomorrow. You're the best, thank you =)
  • I have been following you for years and I just love your recipes! I was raised vegetarian and I like to experiment with a lot of different things in my cooking, and I love the flavors and ingredients you incorporate in your recipes. I'm also Indian and find some vegan recipes to be more "new american," and it's just lovely to see you incorporate indian flavors and cooking techniques in some of your other recipes. It makes me feel more connected to my culture and family while still cooking in my own special adventurous way.
  • @thomasdavis8049
    Thank you for all your recipes. You’ve made my transition into veganism easy and Im sure you’ve helped others in the same way. It’s a big impact.
  • FIVE spring recipes?! so excited!! just visited a vegan restaurant where they made spring ravioli in a pea-sto (pea pesto) sauce, and it’s got me in a seasonal mood❤
  • @annbay5129
    Really like the video format (lighting, venue, close ups of ingredients), cute and humorous interjections, and especially the recipes! I agree with another commenter that you are the best vegetarian/vegan food creator chef!
  • @teshamiller6001
    This is still one of my all time favorite channels. You’re so talented with how you put flavors together and prove that Vegan food is NOT boring or flavorless. Thank you for cooking and sharing with love. ❤️
  • My husband and I made this soup for dinner this evening. It is absolutely delicious! We both said it’s one of the best soups we’ve ever had. ❤ Thanks for sharing!
