But the new youth-culture sensibility has taken over, merging the axiom You are what you eat with its updated mantra You are who you listen to. Lost in the Supermarketyes, named for the 1979 hit by The Clashis a creative compendium of recipes that reclaims the kitchen for the hip crowd. At once a meditation on the connection between food and music and a great culinary resource, this cookbook is full of the favorite recipes of some of indie rocks elite. In chapters on both daily dishes and special event grub, contributions from such indie notables as Animal Collective, Black Dice, Sunset Rubdown, and Country Teasers are included, giving readers plenty to groove on, whether theyre in it for the tunes or the tastes or both.
