Historically, a love of cooking has been left to those considered far from cool: suburbanite Betty Crockers toiling over a hot stove. 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, giving readers plenty to groove on, whether they’re in it for the tunes or the tastes or both.

By R. Faris
Format:Paperback
This cookbook is the best thing to happen to foodie culture since Julia Child was outed as a spy. The authors have: a) great taste in music; and b) great taste in taste. Recognizing that the longstanding punk rock tradition of DIY did not stop at the kitchen door (or the motel dinette microwave), the authors have culled great recipes from great rock bands on the rise. Most are healthy, many are family traditions, and all will make you feel a little more connected to your favorite band.
The food network should stop with the soap operatics and start rockin' with Kay & Lynn Owens.

This was a unique, fun read with some great recipes. The book has a recipe for an awesome chocolate zucchini cake. Even a recipe for a Spicey Cold Celery, YUM. This would be a great gift idea for all those hard to buy for people on your list.

Fun, but ultimately mediocre.
While the stories and introductions to most of these recipes are pretty good, the overall selection of recipes themselves are mediocre at best. Read more

Not many Gems Here
This book will not increase either your indie or culinary "cred." Most of the recipes are idiosyncratic, bordering on the pointless, and the book does not appear to be anything... Read more

Good cook book- not quite as funny as I thought it would be
This was a good book- I'd be tempted to give it a 4.5 stars if possible- I was kind of hoping this book would be a little more clever. Pretty standard cookbook. Read more

Like, but not love
I am totally enamoured of some of the bands that contributed to this book, and that makes the food all the more alluring. Read more

Great cookbook
Great cookbook with both vegan and flex-aterian recipes. Perfect if you are a vegetarian/vegan but your partner is/ guests are not. Interesting and unusual (but practical) ideas!

90210oooooo so good!
A true peach of a book. I am sure Nat a.k.a Joe E. Tata would proudly serve any of these dishes at the Peach Pit! A great blend of music, food, and culture!

Fun in the kitchen
Nice look of the sociology of cooking. And the answer to "Just what do the indie rock groups eat"!!!!!!!!!

Forget Rachel Ray, this book is hot!!!
Things I love: food, good music, and humor. This book is like all my favorite things wrapped in one. Thank you Kay and Lynn for rocking my cooking experience.

the food rocks, the music's delicious...
... and the prose is fun. Kay and Lynn Owens' book really struck a nerve with me: I literally read it in one sitting, and am inspired to cook! Read more
