Choosing the Creative Path with Nisha Vora of Rainbow Plant Life


Listen Later

I’ve noticed how food content on social media has started to veer towards viral food combinations…but making a cake out of mushed up oreos or wraps out of cottage cheese isn’t exactly what you want for dinner.  

Creating reliable and exciting plant-based recipes that you’ll use again and again takes a lot of skill and a lot of passion.

So I am so excited to be talking with Nisha Vora, the lawyer turned YouTube and food blog sensation behind Rainbow Plant Life, who has an incredible new cookbook out called Big Vegan Flavour.

I got to sit down with Nisha to talk about her new book as well as her life as a content creator - which is not always what people imagine it to be. Nisha shares more about why she chose to leave law for a career in food as well as a bit about her creative process and how she navigates the never ending cycle of content creation. And of course, we chat about how she learned to make flavourful food she is excited to eat and how you can too!

About Nisha Vora:

Nisha Vora is a cookbook author, content creator, and former lawyer known for her innovative approach to vegan cooking. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2012 and working as a lawyer, she exchanged her casebooks for cookbooks to follow her dream in the food world by creating Rainbow Plant Life, the vegan cooking website.

With over 2 million followers across her blog and social channels, Nisha’s dedication to creating accessible, delicious, and meticulously tested plant-based recipes has earned her a loyal following and widespread recognition.

On this episode we chat about:

  • The biggest mistake Nisha made cooking for herself when she went vegan
  • Why Nisha chose a career in law and why she left
  • How she built Rainbow Plant Life into a 2 million+ strong community
  • The tricks to making vegan meals as flavourful as ones with animal foods
  • How a trip to SE Asia helped Nisha discover a secret flavour weapon
  • The impact of social media on productivity and creativity
  • Nisha’s advice for those starting out in food media
  • The creative process behind writing Big Vegan Flavour
  • How Nisha defines success
