Divided into “Opening Acts” (appetizers), “Headliners” (entrees), and “Encores” (desserts), Mosh Potatoes features 147 recipes that every rock ’n’ roll fan will want to devour—including some super-charged Spicy Turkey Vegetable Chipotle Chili from Ron Thal of Guns N’ Roses, Orange Tequila Shrimp from Joey Belladonna of Anthrax (complete with margarita instructions), Italian Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs from Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society (a homemade family dish), Krakatoa Surprise from Lemmy of Motörhead (those who don’t really like surprises may want to keep a fire extinguisher handy), and Star Cookies from Dave Ellefson of Megadeth.
Mosh Potatoes comes with a monster serving of backstage stories and liner notes, making this ideal for young headbangers, those who still maintain a viselike grip on the first Black Sabbath album, and everyone who likes to eat.

This book is going to be a phenomenon. It's got its own website, Facebook page, there is tweeting involved--it's a full-on rock-n-roll mega promotion for the November 16 release of this book. And you know what? It's worth it.
I had my doubts when I first got it, but I quickly figured out that this really is a mostly serious cookbook (some of these rockers are actually trained chefs and a whole lot of them are really passionate about great food), albeit with plenty of fun extras, trivia, and behind the scenes dish. There are some seriously amazing recipes in here, and they all come with some sort of story. Some of the recipes are there because they are easy to make on the road. Others are there because it's one of the things the guys miss about home when they are on tour. Some of the recipes are generations old. Others are straight off a Seven Eleven shelf. But pretty much all of them make you want to crank up the tunes and head for the kitchen.
