5 months agoI love Rainbow Kitchen pies, my kids love Rainbow Kitchen pies, in fact they often pinch mine sending me back for another, especially the smoked mushroom, or the cheesy lentil. The Rainbow Kitchen Chilly sauce is outstanding. I also love that they are both plant based /vegan and gluten free so I don't feel all stodgy after eating them, like would I do with the other commonly available vegan pies on the market. Plus the fellow that sells them is a lovely chap with a playful sense of humour.

3 months agoThese pies are so good it is almost as if they have been crafted by the hands of a god. You can taste the love and care that has gone in to making each one by hand. Sometimes I eat one and then I say to myself "I am not worthy of such majestic culinary wizardry". You have not tasted a real pie until you have had a pie from Rainbow Kitchen. All hail the chef.

5 months agoOH MY GOD, these pies are absolutely the best. I've tried many gluten free vegan pies in my time and these are the best. In fact they're not even pies, they're a piece of golden tasty heaven neatly parceled into an edible delight beyond any words. If I could gives these pies an 11 out of 5 I would. Buy one and you will understand what I mean, this is not just a crazy rant about pies, it's a testament to a pie master and his craft. Bless the pie maker. PS the sauces are awesome as well. xxx

5 months agoI’ve tried every flavor of these delicious pies, and I can confidently say they are simply outstanding. I’m very picky when it comes to food and always choose healthy options, and this is by far one of the best choices on the market—especially for vegans and those looking for gluten-free options. The crust, made with buckwheat, is light and crispy, and the fillings are packed with flavor, made from 100% real and organic, wholesome ingredients. While I love them all, my favorites are the lentil and mushroom pies, and when paired with a touch of chili sauce, it’s the perfect combo! If you appreciate healthy, nutritious, and flavorful food, you absolutely have to try them. Highly recommended!

5 months agoThese pies are delicious! I tried my first Rainbow Pie about three years ago and have been hooked ever since. I don’t know if the recipe has been tweaked, but they just get yummier over time. I’ve been a loyal eater of the creamy jackfruit pie but I recently ventured out and tried the curry pie, which is now my new favourite…beautiful subtle flavours. I haven’t been to the Nelson shop yet but will make it soon. So great to have a gluten free vegan option like this!
