Plant-based sweets adored by even the most discerning pastry lovers, from an American pâtissière in Paris

Since 2016, Amanda Bankert has been the surreptitious purveyor of vegan treats in the world’s most butter-obsessed city: Paris. It started with donuts; Bankert, an American expat, brought the first artisanal versions of the stateside delicacy to France with her bakery, Boneshaker, in the 2nd arrondissement. Boneshaker then expanded from donuts, to brownies, to French desserts like macarons and profiteroles—all made without dairy or eggs—and the Parisians who devoured her wares didn’t even notice.

Now, with over eighty-five entirely plant-based but still decadent recipes, Bankert shares the cakes, cookies, candies, and drinks that have fooled and enthralled her patrons, as well as delightful stories from her kitchen and travels. Using both American and French techniques, dig into secretly vegan breakfasts like Banana Tarte Tatin French Toast and Pumpkin Cake Donuts; gâteaux de voyage (travel-friendly cakes) such as Signature Salted Caramel & Roasted Peanut Brownies; and classically French treats, including Crêpes Suzette and Raspberry-Chocolate Macarons. Voilà! Vegan dessert is served.

Love this cookbook! Tried the lemon cake - it was moist and flavorful and the recipe was easy to follow. Decorated in a space theme for a friend who didn’t even know it was vegan : ) can’t wait to try other recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful vegan recipes
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023

Here is my review from Goodreads:

So, I've rated this based on reading the introduction, the traditional "equipment" list, the index of recipes, and the successful outcome of the absolutely decadent "Pistachio Pound Cake." Honestly, my cake sank a bit in the middle (so looked nothing like the lovely photo) but it tasted incredible.

I don't eat much in the way of desserts. I usually stick to fruit or will sometimes have a square of dark chocolate if I need something sweet. Every once in a while though I like to bake and eat something sinful or feed friends. This book is probably all I'll ever need in the way of that desire; there's even a simple recipe called "Birthday Cake" that I'm going to try for the next celebratory dinner.

I love cook books. I never come close to making all the recipes, but always find inspiration in them. I love that these desserts are vegan - but don't confuse them for health food. Lots of vegan butter and sugar here. Still, no animal flesh or secretions added, so next on my to-do pastry/dessert list is the cinnamon rolls apple butter mini galettes. Viva La France and Amanda Bankert.

Addition: I've made more desserts and cookies since my review -- all with really delicious results. The oatmeal-cranberry cookies are incredible. Toasting the oatmeal was key!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice recipe book…
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024

It’s a really nice recipe book. I haven’t tried any recipes yet, but the quality is beautifully thought out. My only complaint is I wish there were mostly French baked patisserie kind of recipes rather than your typical brownies, chocolate chips cookies and yellow cake with sprinkles. I get the pastry chef is originally from the states and now has a donut shop in Paris, so I get why they added some of those more common Americanized sweet sweet recipes. But I am sort of sick of those flavors and I want something less sweet, more fruits and challenging real flavors. I was sort of hoping for more of a French patisserie vs overly sweet common treats. I wish this author would have left those out. That being said I do see some recipes that I’ll be happy to try, oh and yes there is a crepe recipe which looks amazing. I don’t see croissants though, but the book just arrived today. I did learn jellO vanilla instant pudding is accidentally vegan. Which is used in the crème brûlée recipe. I am curious about that. That all being said it is a really lovely vegan recipe book to add to my hoarding collection of pb cookbooks. Those more common American recipes do look good regardless.
-Recently I made a really simple galette with fresh fruit and a simple not so sweet compote. I got the simple recipe from Jacques Pépin, I made it a bit different from his, yet it was still a hit! Not too heavy or sweet and it was easy to veganize. I didn’t make the puff pastry though. I was sort of hoping for more recipes like this. Best

Reviewed in France on February 7, 2024

Ce livre est à la hauteur des pâtisseries proposées par l’autrice à paris. On y retrouve même la recette de ses fameux donuts végétariens !

Je recommande vivement à toute personne amatrice de pâtisserie, pas seulement aux personnes végétariennes. Il y a aussi des tranches de vie de l’auteur, ce qui se lit très bien même si on souhaite surtout pâtisser.

Il y a de quoi satisfaire tous les goûts et surtout de quoi découvrir de nouvelles alternatives et saveurs par rapport à la cuisine traditionnelle.

J’ai acheté le livre car je connaissais l’enseigne mais je vous joins en photo la table des matières globale et quelques extraits des recettes que l’on peut y trouver. Ce n’était pas proposé au moment de mon achat et j’ai trouvé que cela manquait ☺️

Le livre est bien en anglais.
En espérant que cela vous soit utile 👍

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
Reviewed in France on November 15, 2023

I am not vegan or even vegetarian but I do count this as an excellent addition to my library. Rich with delightful stories and images of Amanda Bankert's life in Paris, it's a warm companion on a rainy day. A feature I loved about this book was that the measurements are given in cups AND grams, which is so useful for bakers who are more comfortable baking with weights. The recipes, all spot on, are simple and approachable. Donuts, fritters, confectionary treats, muffins, hotcakes - all creative and interesting enough to get this French baker's wheels churning! Plus Amanda Bankert is a French classically trained pastry chef so she knows how to stress the important parts of a recipe to get them to come out well. I feel like with this toolbox I could branch out and build. Favorites in the book: The donuts of various stripes (several kinds), the matcha and classic blueberry muffins, people are talking about the caramel peanut brownies, for good reason... but also the macarons and crepes. Not to mention a whole section with addresses of restaurants and delicious shops to go to when you actually visit Paris. Bravo.

Reviewed in France on September 8, 2023

Voilà Vegan could obviously be called a cookbook of plant based recipes, but it would be shortsighted to reduce it only to that! It is a delightful romp through anecdotes from the author Amanda Bankert’s life - both personal and professional - that accompany the exquisite recipes, beautiful illustrations and mouthwatering photos. The recipes themselves are explained with easy to follow instructions, and extra care is taken to demystify vegan baking specificities so that obtaining the desired result remains within reach of even the most novice baker. Vegans and non vegans alike will enjoy this book, I’ve already purchased another copy as a gift for a friend and will no doubt get more!
