VIA PRESS RELEASE | “Even with its many flashy co-authors, Mixtape Potluck never wavers from its earnest stated intent: to help readers plan the best possible dinner party. With friends like his, Quest is one to trust.” —Eater
Questlove’s new book, Mixtape Potluck (Abrams Image), was released today. In the book, Questlove imagines the ultimate potluck dinner party. He invites more than fifty chefs, entertainers, artists, thought leaders, and musicians and asks them to bring along their favorite recipe, see the full guest list below. He also pairs each guest with a song that he feels best captures their unique creative energy. The book starts with a charming foreword by fellow potluck aficionado Martha Stewart and finishes with Questlove’s tips on how to make the perfect dinner party playlist.
The result is not only an accessible, entertaining cookbook but also a collection of diverting musical commentaries. With Questlove’s inimitable style of hosting dinner parties and entertaining guests, Mixtape Potluck gives readers unexpected insights into the fascinating creative relationship between music and food.
