Chef Brandy Cochrane

Brandy is an educator, author, and co-founder of Plant Candy, a brand that helps communities and families add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to their diets. Her fascination with plant-based living came after reading the China Study and converting one of her grandma’s cake recipes using butter beans and dates. Once she saw that it worked, she went down a rabbit hole exploring ways to leverage the textures of plants and building in familiar flavor profiles to create food that anyone could enjoy. A graduate of Rouxbe’s Plant-Based Culinary Program, Brandy has used her knowledge to introduce this healing lifestyle in a way that’s fun, simple, and creative.

Her latest book, “The Plant-Based Handbook”, shares the basics of plant-based living and provides recipes to help improve common lifestyle diseases. Brandy wants to create a narrative that a splash of creativity, a dash of openness, and a lot of spice, can make plant-based living enjoyable and fun!
