Today on the TASTE Podcast, we’re talking to Nisha Melvani, the author of Practically Vegan. Nisha is the creator of the website and Instagram account Cooking for Peanuts, a source for colorful, practical, no-nonsense plant-based recipes. We talk about how much range cashews have as an ingredient for creamy dishes, and about why tempeh has such a bad reputation (and how to make it taste truly delicious). We also discuss how using less salt can actually make you a much better cook.Check out Nisha’s book: Practically VeganAdditional Reading:Caroline Schiff’s Salted Honey Focaccia [TASTE]Yurrita Boquerones in Vinegar [Fresh Direct]Sohla El-Waylly’s Braised Lamb Shoulder with Dried Chiles and Dates [Serious Eats]
