The recipes that tamed even the wildest rock stars

The recipes that tamed even the wildest rock stars

Murray’s mum was in-house chef at two 1970s recording studios, cooking for music legends from Queen and Bowie to Motorhead. Each chapter comes with a recipe and glimpses of surprisingly mild-mannered rock star behaviour – the nastier the band, the nicer they are to Tiffany and Joan. There’s enchanting detail for fans, and the standard 70s coming-of-age story, complete with crispy pancakes, for everyone else.
