THE GRUB REPORT: Friday Night Mega-Bites: Cooking with Rockstars
Why is food and cooking such a popular topic of discussion? It's most likely the universality of eating. The list of experiences that all humans share is relatively short, and when you're limited to those appropriate for polite conversation, it's hard to beat a good gastronomic tit for tat.
Everyone eats and most everyone cooks to some degree, thus making food the great equalizer (sorry, Death). Sure, the most powerful person in the world might put his pants on one leg at a time, but finding out what he eats for breakfast seems a much more interesting way of making him human.
Jen Robbins understands this idea, and with her Web site, Cooking with Rockstars, she gives us a peek at the eating habits of our favorite pop idols.
In short video interviews, musicians discuss their prowess (or lack thereof) in the kitchen and even offer up recipes you can try at home. The eats range from silly (Jack Black's Dorito Burrito) to straightforward (Ben Kwelle's Grilled Chicken) to ripped straight outta mom's cookbook (Rufus Wainwright's Borscht recipe). While not always inspiring, the site is always interesting and serves to prove that even though you may not be able to party like one, you can certainly cook like a rock star.
