About The Vegan Baker

For any vegans struggling to veganize their favourite savory treats, sweets or desserts, Zac is here to take you on a cooking experience like no other.

More than just a cookbook, The Vegan Baker is packed with over 100 recipes for all our baked favourites, made vegan.

Whip up cherry pies, chocolate chip cookies, or chocolate cakes without butter, eggs, milk, cheese, and honey. Learn how to make croissants – yes croissants! – from scratch, with step-by-step photos that show you how to laminate your own pastry.

Bake fresh brioche, Japanese shokupan, and other usually dairy-laden breads, or make your own sourdough starter that you’ll love so much you’ll want to keep it by your side forever. If you’re feeling adventurous, learn how to make profiteroles, millefeuille, cannoli and even a croquembouche.

Or if savory snacks are more your jam, Zac has recipes for sausage rolls, cornbread, meat-filled pies, scones and more. Each recipe is explained with Zac’s signature humour and easy-to-follow instructions. Veganism shouldnt be about missing out – but about getting creative, and with Zacchary’s ingenuity, baked goods are no longer forbidden.
