Good interview. Nisha is very interesting. Rip, I love the way you do your homework.
Did you used to be on the vegan view in the beginning?
Great interview! I have followed Nisha for a few years and have learned a lot from her. I borrowed her Instant Pot cookbook from the library about two years ago and liked it so much that I bought it. I enjoyed hearing her tell her back story and conversing with Rip.
Good topic. But the interviewer needs to learn to be a good listener instead of interrupting the guest speaker mid-sentence. I noticed this is repeated behavior in all his podcasts that I have watched. That's why I don't watch his podcasts often. Sorry to be so blunt. Hope the interview process can be improved.
Your peanut curry mix is a great idea for camping, too!
She's awesome! Love her channel and her delicious recipes!
Another excellent podcast! Thank you Rip, and the PlantStrong Team! Now I’m going to have to get Nisha’s cookbook, I’m really excited. I’m glad you’re breaking out that instapot, Rip.
Wonderful interview with a lady who is beautiful on so many levels – vegan ethics being very high on the list! I look forward to buying her books.
I, too, love cooking plant-based in my Instant Pot.
One thing I do in my Instant Pot is layering: I bought a few round stainless steel racks that were originally designed to boil eggs, but I'd never use them for that purpose. Instead, I will place some dry beans and water in the bottom of the Instant Pot, then put a rack on top of that, and on the rack set a stainless steel bowl of some type of grains and water in it.
Then to the sides of the bowl, up on the rack, add some slices of sweet potato or winter squash. I choose items that require similar cooking times.
For example, the beans could be black lentils with the grain called einkorn (which is not corn at all, but a variety of heirloom/ancient whole wheat), and then the sweet potatoes.
Stack it, set it, forget it. Go for a hike. Literally.
Come back refreshed from walking, and then separately on the regular stove, I sauté or steam up some quick asparagus or broccoli with mushrooms and garlic, and I end up with a VERY easy to prepare meal, all fresh ingredients, that covers the four groups I usually aim to include in every dish – some kind of bean or lentil, some kind of whole grain, some kind of green veggie, some kind of yellow/orange/red veggie. I eat a few whole fresh Medjool dates or a bowl of fresh cut fruit for dessert and wow, what a healthy, easy to make, and extremely delicious feast! :>)
Nisha is gorgeous and sweet. (Obviously very smart too.) Her book sounds wonderful! Applaud her parents for being ok with her walking away from a Harvard Law degree to be happy. I read your brother did that from Yale Med Rip, and as you said also supported what you wanted to do – a bow to your folks too.
Such a fan of her YouTube channel, she’s so great at explaining everything while she cooks and introduces us to many new ideas and spices. Yeah!!
Loved the interview!! The pictures sold me! Purchasing this book today.. I have 2 instant pots, best kitchen tool❤️👍
Darn it all Rip. Now I had to go buy her book. Lots of good stuff in there.
I love my instant pot!!! In fact, I hardly use my stove any more but sounds like I'd love your cookbook just as much……..thanks Nisha (and Rip).
I love her sofritas recipe. It's not in her instantpot book but so good. I have the leftovers in the fridge and can't wait for lunch!
Nisha has great recipes and her parents are awesome. I love seeing them taste test her food.
The instant pot lasagna is sooooo good!
Great interview. I am Indian too and a life long vegetarian. 2 years back I removed dairy and extra oil and feel so good!
Her Tofu scramble recipe is the best one out there!! You won't believe how good it is!!
I love her videos and I have used her cookbook many times
Loved this interview! Nissan is inspirational!
Nisha's recipes always look amazing!
