The Recipe Project is a CD-book combo that is the result of collaboration by both chefs and musicians to examine the previously unexplored correlation between music and food.
[1] The project began when co-founders of the band One Ring Zero, Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp decided to take the recipe for Brains and Eggs by American chef Chris Cosentino and use it, word for word, as song lyrics, and as an added bonus collaborated with the chef by asking him what kind of genre of music he would prefer his recipe be sung as.
[1] Their little idea soon snowballed into a huge project that brought together world class chefs like Mario Batali, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Tom Colicchio, musicians, writers and foodies alike, and went on to ask some interesting questions about the nature of the relationship between food and music.
[3] The reviews for the project were for the most part very positive, Edible Brooklyn called the CD "A feast for the ears,".
[5] As well as the book and CD, there is also a free app for The Recipe Project that is available on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
