The Purple Wildflour Story

Bringing French-Inspired Vegan Cuisine and Sustainable Living to Your Table

2013 – Culinary Beginnings
My name is Sharon (Benari) Bounik. Since 2013, I’ve passionately worked as a pastry and culinary chef. I achieved my dream of mastering the art of French cuisine by earning four chef diplomas and working in some of the finest restaurants and bakeries. I always envisioned opening a quaint Parisian-style pastry shop where people could savor coffee and exquisite desserts.

2017 – A New Chapter in South Florida
In 2017, my beautiful family and I relocated to South Florida. It was then that I embraced a vegan lifestyle and discovered a new passion: transforming my favorite recipes into wholesome, vegan masterpieces. Countless experiments later, I finally perfected recipes that honored the flavors of traditional French cuisine while being 100% plant-based.

2019 – The Birth of Purple Wildflour Bakery
October 2019 marked the opening of “Purple Wildflour Bakery.” I began offering my vegan baked goods commercially, sharing my love for innovative, sustainable vegan treats with both vegans and non-vegans alike.

2020 – Reinvention in the Face of Challenge
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of our local farmers market just four months after launching the bakery, leaving me with unexpected challenges. This setback inspired me to pivot: I now share my recipes and sustainable living tips online. Although the affiliate approach hasn’t been a huge financial success, the joy of sharing my creations keeps me motivated every day.
