COOK. EAT. DEATH METAL.

This is what happens when great food meets Rock and Roll. Behold this collection of serious, yet still irreverent, recipes. It began as a few funny Facebook posts designed to cheer up a group of fans after the attack on Paris, November 13, 2015. When tragedy strikes, sometimes you just need to laugh. And eat. This book is a continuation of that idea. Proceeds from sales are being directed to The Sweet Stuff, a foundation that supports the musical community when in need. The Sweet Stuff spearheaded Paris relief funding, and will continue to do so with your help. Don't be fooled by the recipe titles, which are based on songs by The Eagles of Death Metal. They are serious recipes, written by a serious chef who is also a serious fan.

Thanks for buying this book!

Rock On!
