5 Clean-Eating Vegan Recipes that Taste Indulgent
Recently, we invited chef Nisha Vora into our test kitchen to create a handful of vegan comfort food recipes. The founder of the popular Instagram account @rainbowplantlife and author of the cookbook The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook: Wholesome, Indulgent Plant-Based Recipes (in stores June 2019) believes that vegan food should be simple, nourishing and crave-worthy. That means easy to find ingredients and brilliant shortcuts (like putting your Instant Pot to work, whenever possible).
PureWow’s Chef in Residence program invites food influencers and tastemakers from all over the world to create new recipes in our New York City test kitchen.
