Historically, a love of cooking has been left to those considered far from cool--that is to say, suburbanite Betty Crockers toiling over a hot stove instead of standing in line for a rock show. 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 Supermarket--yes, named for the 1979 hit by The Clash--is 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 rock's 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. Whether they're in it for the tunes or the tastes or both, readers will happily groove on celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain's proclamation that there is a distinct "link of sin" between music (especially rock-and-roll) and food: both are about making people happy; both involve sensual pleasures; and both are tied to people's yearnings to get laid at the end of the night.
