Chuck Underwood, Chef
Chuck Underwood is the owner of the popular blog, Brand New Vegan where
he shows thousands of people just how tasty a plant-based diet can be.
Chuck relies on his southern heritage to create all those yummy comfort foods we thought we'd given up forever.... foods like Biscuits & Gravy, Crispy Oven Baked French Fries, and homemade “Chicken” and Dumplings.
He calls it 'Vegan Comfort Food” and based on his blogs popularity – it's a hit, especially amongst people just beginning to transition to a plant-based diet.
With no formal training in either cooking, writing, or photography, Chuck has watched his blog grow to over 20,000 followers in just a few short years. He has also won several Best Vegan Blog Awards and just recently published his very first cookbook.
Chuck began his journey in 2008 when his health was beginning to deteriorate. Chuck lost over 30lbs and brought his blood pressure back to normal just by changing his diet.
“To many people think food doesn't matter to your health, or that Vegan Food is nothing but a bunch of salad and sprouts..... My goal is to prove them wrong”
