The world of Rock and Roll overflows with more decadence than you can shake a coke vial at: sex, drugs, booze, more sex, music and… food. Yes, food. Before the legends take the stage, they need their high-protein, low-fat, gluten-free, carbo-loaded favorite foods. And they need a lot of it; more food than you’ll see at a billionaire’s bar mitzvah or a king’s coronation. The deli tray at a Kiss concert could feed most of Toronto and it’s delicious as hell. Prince needs his tofu. Iggy wants his steaks. Clinton is hanging around the waitress station, picking off the hors d’oeuvres. If they’re rock celebrity/stars and they’re hungry, they call Simon. Simon Dickinson is a true RockNRoll Chef – brilliant, eccentric, edgy and gifted, Simon hits the road when the rock gods need their ambrosia. Simon bakes and bastes, fricasees and flambes, Simon even concocts his own special protein/energy shakes for the top rockers of all time. He is the man when the masses need the manna. Food Rocks: The Real-Life, Near-Death Tales of a True RockNRoll Chef goes backstage at some of the biggest rock extravaganzas of the past twenty years, providing a sneak peek behind the scenes of the greatest shows on earth. The tales range from the ridiculous to the outrageous and back again, with more than a few road-kills in between. Simon also includes the favorite recipes he has created for the gods of rock, everyone from Muse to Prince, The Rolling Stones, Journey and more. Food Rocks: The Real-Life, Near-Death Tales of a True RockNRoll Chef is a cross-over book, beginning with foodies of all types while bridging over into baby boomer rock fans. Written in a terse, hilarious and ripping style, it’s an edgy read with recipes as a bonus. Given its focus on food, rock and roll and celebrities of the first magnitude, Food Rocks will attract readers across a spectrum of celebrity followers to foodies to general interest audiences.
