I Like Food, Food Tastes Good: In the Kitchen with Your Favorite Bands Book

What happens when indie bands hit the road? They get hungry! Food writer Kara Zuaro knows a lot of musicians, and she?s found they all share one obsession (besides music, of course): eating. Whether they?re on the tour bus reminiscing about meals past or at home in their own kitchens, they?ve all got favorite recipes -- and they?re willing to share. This uniquely irresistible cookbook collects contributions from more than 100 artists, including indie icons like the Violent Femmes, Belle & Sebastian, and They Might Be Giants; current favorites like Franz Ferdinand and My Morning Jacket; and up-and-coming acts like Catfish Haven and Voxtrot. Some recipes are inspired by a particular song in the band?s repertoire, others are taken from real-life experience. Each one bears the often quirky stamp of its source -- while these are thoroughly tested, cook-from-me recipes, Zuaro has left the musicians? wording and instructions intact, which makes for a collection that?s as much fun to read as it is to use. For example, from Devendra Banhart?s contribution: RIGHT ON!!!!!! here is my favorite recipe for: AFRICANAS RICAS! you shall require! many bananas! a box of graham crackers!!! two eggs!!! SOUR CREAM!! HONEY! You get the idea. Part indie music discovery guide, part foodie fantasy, and all fun, I Like Food, Food Tastes Good is a cookbook for anyone whose iPod is always on.Read More
