Mixtape Potluck Cookbook: A Dinner Party for Friends, Their Recipes, and the Songs They Inspire by Martha Stewart, Questlove

4.0

First of all, this is not a book by Martha Stewart. She wrote the intro and contributed one recipe. Questlove is a DJ for a famous late night show. He knows plenty of celebrities and had them all contribute. In return he sent them a song inspired by themselves or their recipes, each one described in the book. He also has sections on hosting a potluck and creating a playlist for it. Of course you can find the playlist on Spotify. Personally I liked the jazz, oldies, and novelty songs about food, not most of the hip hop. But it was interesting, an added plus to a cookbook. At first I didn't think I liked most of the recipes, but when I started to read his comments, they grew on me. Potlucks are full of stuff you wouldn't make yourself, but you like to see what other people make. This book is like that. I had to return it to the library, but I think it also had nice photos.
