I'm Chuck and I'm a Plant Based Recipe Blogger! Welcome to Brand New Vegan.
I create and share wholesome, family-oriented, comfort food recipes that just happen to be made from plants. I'm a Vegan who follows a Whole Food, Plant Based, No Oil Diet as recommended by doctors such as Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, and Dr. Neil Barnard.
I created this website to help you transition to this new way of eating, because as somebody who has 'been there, done that' - I know it can be HARD.
But with familiar, comfort food recipes you probably grew up with - I know it can be a whole lot easier.
All of my recipes are free, so please enjoy and share with your friends.
Like what i do? Love my recipes? Want to help?
