Product Description
What do you get when you mix one of the world s best food photographers, a well respected music journalist, a top rock & roll chef to the stars, a heaped spoonful of Heston Blumenthal and stir through many of the world s best musicians? You get Love Music Love Food... This journey with a charitable aim started at the Lowry Hotel, Salford, and ended with Juliette Lewis wrapping her legs around a Gibson guitar dripping with chocolate in Miahaus studios, Los Angeles. Love Music Love Food is the lovechild of award-winning photographer Patrice de Villiers. Inspired by an aftershow conversation in the hotel bar with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy who divulged that he makes his own pasta the kernel of an idea was borne, to combine the epicurean delights of food and music in a collection of sumptuous, surreal images portraying the great, good and up-and-coming of the music industry with the food they love (or as in Noel Gallagher s case, beverage he loves, as he is photographed with his beloved Yorkshire tea). To make that idea a reality, Patrice enlisted the help of many talented individuals, generous companies and with the goodwill of over 60 artists and their management/PR teams, 2 years later Love Music Love Food exists in exhibition and book form. The book includes interviews by celebrated music journalist Andrew Harrison, recipes by rock & roll caterer Sarah Muir and a foreword by British superstar chef, Heston Blumenthal. And the force behind it all comes from Patrice s desire to produce something extraordinary for an extraordinary charity, Teenage Cancer Trust. Teenage Cancer Trust is a UK based charity and many of its core supporters can be seen in Love Music Love Food: The Rock Star Cookbook. From its most vocal patron, Roger Daltrey, to Paul Weller, Kasabian, Kelly Jones, Brian May, Siouxsie Sioux, Ellie Goulding, Tinie Tempah, Sir Cliff Richard and Brandon Flowers, to name but a few. All proceeds from the book and the print sales go to Teenage Cancer Trust. To donate please go online to: www.lovemusiclovefood.org

Love Music Love Food: The Rock Star Cookbook, is not your standard cookbook, as in not like the kind you would get from Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson, or even Gordon Ramsey. If, however you like a book which gives you something extra rather than just a standard recipe that you could make for a few friends, then this book is it.
You could say it's more of a gift than anything else. It provides recipes that are imaginative, creative and unique. Recipes for 'Jerk Chicken Pizza' and 'Haggis, Tatties and Neep Timbale with Whisky Sauce' are what makes it imaginative, but what makes it unique are its recipes for the 'Perfect Cuppa' or 'Eggy Soldiers'.
The photography is as unique as its recipes, all executed with style and panache. Its creativity is what makes its portraits imaginative, the idea to cover singer VV Brown in Marmite or Kasabian and Noel Fielding recreating a Beggars Banquet are masterstrokes, its attention to detail truly outstanding.
The interviews with each artist gives an insight in to why each type of food is important to them. It comes as no surprise that some of them are not great cooks, but this is of no great importance. This book is about the musicians favourite foods, not how good they can cook.
Ultimately this book gives an insight into the world of music, and specifically, its musicians and their love for food. Its fascinating portraits will make you want to at least attempt most if not all of the recipes, and if that is not enough, its all for a good cause... Its in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, and notably its Patron, Roger Daltrey has a recipe created by none other than, Heston Blumenthal, who has also written a foreword for the book.
With stores now getting ready for christmas, this is the perfect gift for anyone who has a slight interest in food and music, something which I have planned for a number of relatives.

Love Music Love Food is a coffee-table sized book of photography featuring rock stars and their favourite recipes. If you ever wanted to know what makes Noel Gallagher or Suggs of Madness salivate, what tickles Ellie Gouding's or Johnny Borrell's tastebuds, this is the book for you! What initially attracted me to the book was the photography - not just the quality of it [which is excellent] but the humour. A moody Noel stands beside a guitar case over-flowing with his favourite tipple [Yorkshire Tea, what else...], Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand strikes a heroic pose with a beetroot skewered on a pitchfork, as a stuffed stag looks on. There's a surreal, absurd comedy to the pictures, which makes the Rock Gods featured seem very human and down to earth - as do their chosen recipes. Who would have thought the glamorous Sophie Ellis Bextor would plump for fish'n'chips [& a gherkin] or, on the other hand, that Punk heroes the Buzzcocks would indulge in Champagne and Oysters? I haven't tried out any of the recipes, I'm no chef, but I defy you not to salivate over some of the food shots. I've hinted here at the broad spread of Stars who have donated recipes [the book is sold in aid of the charity the Teenage Cancer Trust], but to mention a few more - Richard Hawley, Eliza Doolittle, Mick Hucknell, Siouxsie Sioux, Rolf Harris, Coco Sumner...you get the idea. Apart from the photographs there are interesting interviews with each of the stars revealing their connections with food. You couldn't go wrong with this as a Christmas present for anyone who loves rock and pop music, anyone who loves food, anyone who loves good photography, and anyone who has a slightly mad sense of humour. Which, come to think of it, covers most people I know.

I am loving this book from renowned food photographer Patrice de Villiers, it is an explosive riot of interesting recipes, incisive interviews and amazing photographs, all for the very very worthy cause that is the Teenage Cancer Trust. An eclectic mix of musicians are featured that really seem to span the generations from artists I remember listening to with my parents (such as Brian May, Roger Daltrey and Tony Christie) to current favourites (Paloma Faith, White lies and Alex Kapranos). The pictures are excellent featuring each artist with their favourite food, a creative challenge for sure given some of the celebs odd choices.
Unlike the previous reviewer I actually think having special recipes inspired by the artists favourite food is what makes this book more exciting. I imagine otherwise we would have been reading some quite bland recipes along the lines of fish and chips, sausage and mash etc, simple homely recipes that these busy celebrities may have time to cook every so often.
What we get however are some truly inspired recipes such as Miso Glazed Suzuki (Ellie goulding), Jaffa cake Semifreddo (Example) and Red Wine Gum Vodka (Kelly Jones).
No these are not dishes cooked by these people (or maybe now they have tried them, who knows?), but chef Sarah Muir has risen to the challenge of creating exciting dishes from either very normal or totally oddball foods with considerable aplomb. It's a crazy fantasy world that results, this is the food we want these rock and roll gods to be eating, not the stuff we mortals have to suffer...
It's maybe not a rock and roll cookbook in the most obvious sense but it definitely packs a lot more rock and roll than any other cookbook out there and I love it!
