In my mind, rock music and yummy food truly are two great tastes that taste great together. So Kara Zuaro is a girl after my own heart: She's compiled a book of recipes from rockers [1] including the Hold Steady, the Decemberists, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, My Morning Jacket, and the Mountain Goats called I Like Food, Food Tastes Good [2].

Now, I tend to associate rock show food more with "hey, is that pizza place still open?" than with elaborate gourmet delicacies, so I'm excited to see that Camera Obscura apparently has a way with veggie paella and the Drive-By Truckers make a mean banana pudding. On the other end of the scale, there's Strung Out's Rock 'n' Ramen (two ramen flavors, not one) and this, um, recipe from freak-folker Devendra Banhart:

RIGHT ON!!!!!!
here is my favorite recipe for:
AFRICANAS RICAS!

a box of graham crackers!!!
two eggs!!!
SOUR CREAM!!
HONEY!

Those of you in New York can check out one of the book's release parties [3] scheduled throughout the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, head over to YumSugar [4] to see Grizzly Bear's recipe for pecan pie [5].
