Food That Rocks [Paperback]

Even rock stars have to eat, and Margie Lapanja and Cindy Coverdale have polled dozens of guitarists, drummers, and singers to find out what they like to eat out and what they like to cook for themselves. Fans will pore over Food That Rocks for recipes that will make them feel emotionally closer to the musicians they admire. Recipes cover a broad range of foods: Spike Edney's chili, made with lamb and basil; Stan Harrison's BBQ brisket; and Steve Hamilton's meatballs. Much biographical data supplements the recipes so that readers can gain more insight into the background of these celebrities' favorite comestibles. Mark Knoblauch

Music is the inspiration behind these recipes conveniently organized according to appetizers, soups and salads, entrees and desserts. The recipes are supplemented by information on musician-owned restaurants, chefs who perform in bands, musical cookbooks and, of course, songs about food. Food That Rocks features well-known performers from the world of music, including Shania Twain, Sarah McLachlan, Ted Nugent, Patti Labelle, Joe Satriani, the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and the literary band-Rock Bottom Remainders-that includes Stephen King.
