France is the gastronomic capital of the world, but not everybody has the same taste.

And the obvious question, when we're talking about the letter V, is vegan, especially vegan

Paris.

That's today's topic.

I'm going to talk to Amanda Bankett, who has written a double V book, Voila, Vegan,

and who runs the Bone Shaker Donut shop in the second hour.

She's a friend of the show, and you're going to hear me talking to her in her bakery.

This is the Earful Tower podcast.

My name is Oliver G, and you're listening to the A-B season, where V is for vegan. But first, some music from

Press Maxon.

So before we get into anything here, that music from PressMax, and let's read a little bit about it to celebrate veganism.

We turn to an artist whom I'm a little surprise we haven't covered before, simply because they're versatile, a musical prodigy, and widely regarded as a legend legend is my cover of Prince's song Animal Kingdom.

My Virgin doesn't include the sound effects such as waves crashing on the beach or the chirping of dolphins,

but I hope the soul of the song is still intact.

My favorite line is, we're all members of the Animal Kingdom.

Enjoy.

Let's hear a little bit more of that

before we get to Amanda. Amanda, how you doing?

I'm good. How are you doing?

Really good. And before anything, let's go for a flashback.

I remember interviewing you in your old, smaller bakery.

Yep.
