Adventures
Since 2015, Amanda Bankert, founder and executive pastry chef at Boneshaker, 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.
In her debut cookbook, Voila Vegan: 85 Decadent, Secretly Plant-Based Desserts from an American Pâtissière in Paris, Amanda shares over eighty-five entirely plant-based but still decadent recipes alongside delightful fish-out of water stories from her kitchen and travels.

"I love Amanda’s style! At Boneshaker in Paris, she reels you in with her great flavor combinations, her whimsy and talent, and then she tells you that everything you loved was vegan! Now we can all bake just the way Amanda does. With Voilà Vegan, Amanda has created a guide to all things sweet and plant-based for all dessert-lovers."

"Paris has become un amis (a friend) to vegans, thanks to Amanda Bankert who’s shaken (and baked) delicious things up with her popular Boneshaker Donut shop. In Voilà Vegan, Amanda reveals her favorite Paris-inspired recipes, from chocolate-espresso morning buns and spicy pain d’épices, to maple madeleines and donut profiteroles that’ll temp everyone to start baking with her signature touch of French je ne sais quoi…"
