My new cookbook Big Vegan Flavor is now available!

Cooking Technique Mastery

Thank you so much for purchasing a copy of my new cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor!

To help you master techniques used throughout the book, I’ve created a series of short videos that cover everything from how to clean and tear mushrooms to how to grind whole spices.

The page is divided into three sections:

While you certainly could watch all the videos back-to-back-to-back, I would not recommend it.

Instead, bookmark this page and come back to it whenever there’s a technique or ingredient you’re unfamiliar with.

Not sure how to break down fennel? There’s a video for that. Want to learn how to correctly heat up a stainless steel pan? There’s a video for that, too.

And if there’s something else you’d like to see me cover, please let us know by emailing help@rainbowplantlife.com and we’ll see if we can add it for you!

Happy cooking!
Nisha
