2 posts | 2 read
What if Questlove threw a dinner party and everyone came? Named one of fall's best cookbooks by Los Angeles Times, GrubStreet, and Eater Even with its many flashy co-authors, Mixtape Potluck never wavers from its earnest stated intent: to help readers plan the best possible dinner party. With friends like his, Quest is one to trust. - EATER Questlove is best known for his achievements in the music world, but his interest in food runs a close second. He has hosted a series of renowned Food Salons and conversations with some of Americas most prominent chefs. Now he is turning his hand to creating a cookbook. In Mixtape Potluck Cookbook, Questlove imagines the ultimate potluck dinner party, inviting more than fifty chefs, entertainers, and musicianssuch as Eric Ripert, Natalie Portman, and Q-Tipand asking them to bring along their favorite recipes. He also pairs each cook with a song that he feels best captures their unique creative energy. The result is not only an accessible, entertaining cookbook, but also a collection of Questloves diverting musical commentaries as well as an illustration of the fascinating creative relationship between music and food. With Questloves unique style of hosting dinner parties and his love of music, food, and entertaining, this book will give readers unexpected insights into the relationship between culture and food. Note: The cover material for this book is meant to mimic the texture and tactile quality of tinfoil and is intentional.

Questlove is a must-read author for me, and I was so happy to finally sit down and read this cookbook (from the pile of things I was lucky enough to have checked out pre-library closure). This is full of recipes from famous others (Questlove‘s a food aficionado but not much a cook, he says), but his voice is still present via song selections and musings for each recipe. Bittersweet to read and think about potlucks and dinner parties right now.

Maya Rudolph‘s Chocolate Chili & my review of Questlove‘s new cookbook are on the blog for #soupersundays. (Link 👇🏻) I adore Questlove & was excited to receive the book as part of #abramsdinnerparty as I feel slightly cooler😎 by owning it!😉Great mix of recipes from Questlove‘s guest list of eclectic friends, paired with his mixtape list of songs they inspire. I made the vegetarian chili as I was intrigued by the chocolate chip/Frito topping.😋

DebinHawaii Easy recipe & the chocolate chips & other toppings add interesting layers of flavor. Link to full review & recipe: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2019/11/maya-rudolphs-chocolate-chili-from.ht... 5y
