- Hi friends, I wasn't sure if I should release this video, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to amplify the Black Lives Matter movement and make it clear where I stand. This video was filmed prior to the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing protest movement.
All ad revenue from this video will be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative, which works to end mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S. and advocates for racial and economic justice. Read more about their mission here: eji.org/
Below are some resources that have helped me understand the history of racism and the fight for racial equality, as well as ways to get involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.

Hi friends, the last few weeks have been heavy and intense but also transformative. I regret not having used my platform earlier to talk about these human rights issues, but I want to be very clear that going forward, I will never be silent when it comes to injustice and inequality. We all have a role to play in the movement for racial justice, and I hope you find some of the resources in the description box helpful. Sending love and hope to all of you.
You are one of the most loving and compassionate person I ever met Nisha. Through your words and all your work, I know how much you care for everyone. You've helped me grow in many ways and I am so grateful for you. Thank you for all the resources you are sharing and for supporting the Equal Justice Initiative.
You are beyond sweet. I don't think I deserve such praise, but I am grateful that I have been able to help have that impact on you. Thank you!
Thank you!
This painful time has been one of growth, change, and learning for all of us - thank you, Nisha, for speaking out in a compassionate, thoughtful, and meaningful way. Your words and actions are so important and can impact so many. Your addendum brought tears to my eyes. I look forward to reviewing the resources you’ve suggested.
Thank you for using your platform to stand up.
came for the food, stayed for the humor and commitment to human rights 🙌
Aw I appreciate that, Eva! Thank you!
she has a personality that is utterly fantastic.
I have been enjoying and trying your recipes for a few months, and admire your hard work to make this channel a delight to follow. And now my admiration spills over into what's really important in your life aside from your passion for sharing food and beauty. I really love that you choose to include your views on equality and justice on this platform. We all need to hear everyone speak up for the healing of this deep deep wound that has poisoned us for far too long. Thank you Nisha.
You are too kind. I appreciate your sweet and thoughtful comment. And I couldn't agree more with you! We all have a role to play in dismantling these systems of oppression. Thank you!
Thank you for using your platform to talk about this and for sharing all the resources on Insta. My family and I have been learning a lot these past few weeks and we are eager to keep learning.
That makes me so very happy to hear, Sandy. Sending love.
The dinner looked so yummy! Also you're so funny, please leave all your jokes in
Lol I am honored you think so. Thank you Katherine!
“If there’s any white powder left, just snort it up” omg😂😂😂 i love your videos so much!
Lolz i wasn't sure how that would be received 😂 Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RainbowPlantLife it was funnnnnnny!
I PMPL when she said that. Best sense of humor.
She’s so funny
I appreciate you SO SO much for the end of this video. I am a white, European privileged woman and I feel like in spite of what I think, I do too little to help the right message of compassion and justice spread in my country as well.
Please, never feel like you have to do anything to fit into the frames created by society or social media. Feel free to speak about ANYTHING important to you.
Sending you lots of love.
Stay safe and sound!
That video footage of New York is the most inviting I have ever seen !!
Aww I am glad you think that! It's a wonderful city!
As a French I firmly believe that not snacking casually on your baguette on the way home is criminal 😄
Loved this video 😊
Haha yes! When I stayed in France, one thing I noticed was everyone was snacking on baguettes while walking. I loved it!
@@RainbowPlantLife that is really interesting hahaha
Omg I LOVE YOU 😭😭 I just found your channel and not only do you have amazing recipes and great video quality, but you are using your platform to promote positive and needed change! ❤️ STAN
Aww I love your comment, David. Thank you! Sending love and hugs!
I could not wait to watch this video! They always inspire me so so much and I just LOVE your personality!
I must say, it was fantastic to get to know you better through this video!
I have never commented on any of the videos I’ve ever seen before - by anyone. But I have to commend you for taking a stand on your platform. I know it was a “risky” thing to do. But hopefully more people follow your lead. And your recipes look amazing too 😊
i just adore you channel so, so much. So calming and inspiring 🖤
You are so ridiculously funny🤣!! “Make sure the tofu is standing 6’ apart; that is safest way to cook tofu & if you can try to make a mask of the tofu.” Bwahaha!! I love your recipes, your sense of humor, & your authenticity.
Thnx for your resources & recognition of black lives matters. You won’t lose me as a subscriber if you veer from “your lane” & continue to speak out on social justice issues.
PS. Your sweetie secretly loves your sense of humor bc he was chuckling as he was getting your wine out from the fridge. You’re adorable & a loving, caring human being. We’re lucky to be traveling with you on this troubled planet💙✌🏼🌀
Aww thank you so much for all of your lovely words and comments. I am glad you enjoy my sense of humor and haha yes, you're right, he does enjoy it - he's just camera shy 😂I appreciate your support on all fronts. Thank you for making me smile this morning :)
You are literally adorable. I'm in love with your videos and your style. Cocktails to go - jealous! So proud to follow such big hearted people like yourself - we all collectively gotta do better!
you're truly one of my favorites to watch right now! Loved this video, please do more!
The food looked amazing, the last part of the video made me emotional. I’m a black woman, and am happy to hear that you’re in the fight and are working to educate yourself on issues of racial justice.
You already know I love your recipes and jokes! That part of your personality shining through is a lovely addition!!
Nisha, you are such an inspiration and truly lovely person. I love your recipes and your colorful way of eating, and I'm not sure how I missed this particular video a few months ago! It was nice to hear your thoughts about these very important events happening now. Thank you 💚
Thanks for educating the world and having a conscience. Love your recipes and keep up the great work.
I agree! This video makes me love and appreciate you more ! I love your humor and wit! No need to apologize, first, you’re committed to sharing your love for animal rights by being vegan ( and your health) and now you’ve share another side of your compassion, your words are so heartfelt and genuine, thank you for all the info you’ve shared 🥦❤️🤗be well lovely soul
Awww that is so nice to hear, Lola! Thank you for your kind comments and support. I am committed to doing my best to fight for justice for all human beings, as well as animals. I appreciate the love and support ☺
I just started my vegan journey this week I needed some ideas and I came across your videos I love them very much thanks for taking time and teaching some yummy recipes I also bought an instapot and your book can’t wait to get some more ideas. 😋
Hi Cece, congratulations on starting your new vegan journey! So happy you're learning some new recipes. Hope you will enjoy my cookbook too!
Thank you! I love all your videos and recipes! I always smile the whole time!
Omg!! I wish I could actually cook! Do you offer classes!? LOL 😂 Thank you for being an ally and using your platform to amplify black voices and creators as well as offering your knowledge and time ❤️
HAHA i have thought about it, but not in a serious way (if someone can find me more than 24 hours in a day, I will happily do it lol). And I don't think I deserve to be thanked, but I appreciate it nonetheless and I really appreciate your support!
@nurseKatrina, These virtual you tube videos are as good as classes for me! I have a new excitement about trying these Indian-inspired flavors in my cooking!
Such a fun video - it was nice to be able to see more of your awesome personality - you and Max are the cutest 💕💕💕

I clicked the like button before even watching the video. Thank you for using your voice! The recipes look delicious and you are hilarious. Please keep it coming 😆
Meditation is always seen as something in general very hippie and woo-woo but my gosh, how it transforms you life. I've been sceptical for a long time but after having truly committed to it, there is no going back, even though it is not always easy!
I can’t remember the first video of yours that I saw but I love your channel! You’re amazing 💚🙏🏽
Aww thank you Rae! I am so flattered to hear that :)
RainbowPlantLife absolutely my dear! Thank you for creating content!!
I have been practicing the time-restrictive feeding approach for a long time now and apart from the benefits you've mentioned, it is just SO MUCH easier and practical as a student to be eating less meals- honestly, it have saved me so much time and brain space during those busy mornings!
Also, I am sure a pastry is a great way to start the day from time to time :D
That dinner looks amazing!! I really enjoyed watching the video
Love this video! Seeing Carroll St makes me miss Brooklyn so much! I grew up in Carroll Gardens 💙 Love this video style
ive never tried paneer with tofu but you know, thats a REALLY good idea
You are absolutely beautiful without make-up ( and also with make-up on). Thank you for sharing your life with us!!
Aww that's so nice of you to say. I am glad you enjoyed getting a little peak into it :) Thanks Bobbie!
Hey Girl, love your recipes but hey I think I love your humor a little more 😬You are awesome and thanks for all the inspiration🙌🏽🤗
My most favorite video of yours ever!! So real and true. Brava!!!!
Aww thank you Susan! So happy you loved it. I appreciate it!
I live in a small town in Oklahoma, wish we had a farmers market like that! Love your recipes 💕
Yes, we are so lucky to have access to these markets. I am always so grateful when I come back from one of them, especially during the pandemic when it has felt scary to go into grocery stores. Thank you Sherry!
Um, this recipe is so good! Loved the crispy tofu lettuce wraps!! Please tell me you have another cookbook coming out soon.
I look forward to the videos! Thank you so much for bringing us in for a whole day with you and Matt :-) and I believe he does think your jokes are funny 😉.
Hi Melanie! I am so glad you look forward to my videos. Hehe Max does think my jokes are funny but doesn't always admit it hahaha.
Thank you for this whole video. It made me laugh and it is making me teary. 🖤
Aww I am honored that it could get you through such a range of emotions. Thank you!
Awesome video, and I really enjoyed the vlog style, and seeing Brooklyn. My family and I are moving to Bay Ridge in August ❤️
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and the vlog style. And yay for moving to Brooklyn! I hope you will love it!
Thank you for everything here, including your closing statement and the links.
Why can't I love this?!
I love this video and I love you! Thank you!
You are too sweet, Nedina. I always appreciate your support!
Omg. Your channel needs so much recognition. You're really really great and share great stuff. Thanks for doing what you do! Lots of love from Australia!! PS - You look a lot like Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) from The Punisher !!
You are very sweet! thank you for the love and kind words. Sending love back from NYC :)
I adore this edit 😍
Yay! happy to hear that you liked it!
Love the rainbows everywhere! In my neighborhood, it's hearts painted on windows.
I LOVE your videos so much.
yes these past few weeks have been a LOT with a lot of self introspection, but I have hope that we will be able to see real systemic change! Love your videos and everything you've been sharing on IG!
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have been slightly obsessed ever since. I’ve been sharing your recipes with friends and they love them as well. I even got my “meat and potatoes” husband to eat something with vegetables in it! I’m so happy that you decided to share your platform with the BLM movement. I look forward to many more videos and recipes!
Hi Zack, it's lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for your support on all ends. I am so happy you're enjoying my recipes and even got your hubby to enjoy them. I hope you are doing well and I am excited for you to try more of my recipes :)
Was going to order that Balsamic vinegar on Amazon and it was just under $90 in Canada. 😳. Love love love your videos and just received your cookbook. Made your red lentil curry tonight and it’s AMAZING! Looking forward to more of your videos 💕
Hey I used to live there! That neighborhood is so nice this time of year too! Love the tour! It really brings me back...I miss it there😂.
Oh yeah... Love the tofu & mushroom recipe too! Going to give that one a shot!
Really fun to watch. I never thought to use sunflower shoots. Great idea!
Aww yay, happy it was fun to watch. Sunflower shoots are so good. They have a nutty flavor, which is really unique and fun for greens.
Awesome video you're killing it ✨
OMG!! I literally choked when you said keep tofu 6 ft apart!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Lol glad I could provide some humor :)
Thank you for all that you do!
Aww thank you Leah! You are very sweet.
Spinach is my Kale. I eat it pretty much every single day. And it cooks down well so I can add it to everything for a vitamin rich boost
You are so funny! 😂 6 feet apart 😂 love your videos 💕
I saw him smile tho😂😂
Haha YES he did! He thinks I'm very dorky but also secretly loves my sense of humor.
My goodness I want such a plant wall on my house as well ;D It looks so amazing and must be great form the environmental point of view as well :D I am not surprised it is your favourite in the neighborhood!
Safe tofu prep...I just love you XD
And I will be 100% trying your way of making it! Looked fantastic!
Such a delicious lunch! I feel like I will be making a similar meal very soon :D Beluga lentils are one of my favourites!
Also, doesn't matter if it is messy as long as it is tasty!
Love your peaceful mornings!
early morning is my favorite time of day! Thank you Chris.
More of these style please 💕
I'm glad you liked the vlog style, Nicole. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. It was very interesting watching. I am glad you are safe in NYC considering the number of virus cases.
Thank you so much! We are very grateful to have our health. The number of cases here has gone down a lot in the last month, so we are hoping we have seen the worst of it.
Thank you being a wonderful human being💖💖💖💖💖💖
Awww ☺ thank you for being here!
we are neighbors!!!! you showed my street at the beginning ahhh :D
Your hair and skin are goals :)
I also do intermittent fasting. I have been for many years and I really love it. I believe it is very good for my body and my personal health.
I love your channel and what you share, especially today. Don't forget to turn off your ad blocker if you want to see the ads. Doh!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for your support :)
Loveddddd your video. You and Max are so adorable. As we say in Hindi, “Nazar naa lag jaaye..” ...
Aww thank you so much!
Mein bhi yeh soch rhi thi
Love the outside content. More please!
Your video was warmly welcomed. Sending our thoughts to you from the UK.
Thank you so much Anne-Marie. I appreciate the love.
Your food inspires me soooo much....lettuce wraps tonight!!
YAY! So happy to hear that Jo! I hope you enjoy them - let me know what you think!
Yummy 😋 recipes as always Di looking forward to seeing your videos god bless ur family always may all your dreams come true love ❤️ you please be safe
You're very sweet Priti! Thank you for watching. Sending you lots of hugs and love.
You have such great hair! Will you do a video on how you care for your hair?
Thank you Nicole! I will try to incorporate that into a future vlog-style video!
Love this video. Thank you for your comments at the end. Wow! that dinner looked fantastic. I would like to make one suggestion for your website - it would be really great to be able to have a printable version of your recipes.
YES I agree with you on the website! I mentioned this in the video that we are working on updating my website...basically, I need to have the whole website migrated to a more friendly platform like Wordpress because the current platform I use does not make it easy to include those kinds of buttons. So I apologize but it I am working on it! In the meantime, you can select ctrl + P to print the whole page but then use the print preview to select the page numbers that have the recipe. I know it's not ideal, but I hope to have a much more user-friendly site in the next few months! And I am glad you enjoyed the video, Catherine!
@@RainbowPlantLife Thank you for your reply & no need to apologize. Developing a new website sounds like an incredible amount of work! I look forward to it when it is completed. Pick Up Limes has wonderful printable versions of her recipes (if you are looking for ideas). Also, love your cookbook!
I appreciate you so.
Even more glad we recently bought your book!
Aww thank you Carrie Anne! I appreciate your support and hope you are enjoying my cookbook!
@@RainbowPlantLife We are really loving it. I've been buying cookbooks since the late '80s, starting with The Farm one (a veg community here in Tennessee). I've given away most of my collection and kept the ones I enjoy most. Last week UA-cam recommended your Buffalo chickpea recipe and we fell in love with it. My teen daughter and I plan to make everything in your cookbook this summer (maybe into autumn?). We have been scarfing the gyros for a couple of days and are making the Oreo cheesecake tonight, along with the phở. Really enjoying it, along with the introduction and pantry notes. It's an outstanding book for the price, and the photographs are lovely. We both wish you all the best in your endeavors and will continue watching your channel and reading your 'blog!
Cheesecake is EXCELLENT. I’ve made raw cashew cheesecakes, so this was my first baked one. Not a huge Oreo person, but still delicious. Everyone loved it! Well done.
Such a necessary video
Thank you Victoria!! Appreciate it.
Quick question - why do you need to press the tofu (i've not cooked with it much but want to add it more into my cooking) ? Loving your video and channel, thank you for these, really easy to follow.
Hi Suzi, tofu is very watery, so pressing helps to remove a lot of that water. If you don't press tofu and then try to bake/saute/grill it, the texture won't be very good and it'll have a hard time absorbing the other flavors.
Lol!you are so funny, you are my favorite youtuber💕😊💕
Aww that's so nice to hear! Thank you!
I am in love with the support all the citizens give to the health care workers! It is absolutely beautiful
Thank you for sharing. 🖤
Thank you for being here, Cindy!
Am not vegan but you’re definitely getting me there. How lucky I am to find your videos. Can you add prep times? Am buying your book. Cant wait to get it
I wish I had more thumbs to give thumbs up with . This video is just wonderful!
your jokes are amazing haha
