The Recipe Project by Michael Hearst

The Recipe Project began as a lark. Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp, co-founders of the band One Ring Zero, decided to turn Chris Cosentino s recipe for Brains and Eggs into a songword for word, phrase for phrase, including Remove the brains from the water with a perforated spoon and place on a plate. As if that wasn t trickyor bizarreenough, they asked Cosentino to recommend a music style. Beastie Boys, he replied. With an innocent grin.
The result was a fast, raucous ode to white-boy hip-hop jams and edible offal that, not surprisingly, caused a fair degree of uncontrollable laughter in the studio. The fact that the song also highlighted more serious culinary concerns of Cosentino sthe importance of cooking with all the parts of an animal and not just the pretty and palatable meatscame up only after the fact.
But it was enough to inspire Cosentino to call up a few of his chef friends like Aaron Sanchez and Michael Symon. They wanted recipe-songs too, Sanchez opting for traditional Mexican brass-band Banda. And Symon? Heavy metal, with a side of demon screaming.
By the time Hearst told his friend Leigh Newmana longtime writer for food and travel magazines who was just hatching plans for Black Balloon Publishing with co-founder Elizabeth Kochabout the project, One Ring Zero had six recipe-songs recorded. The two combined forces to recruit new chefs, as well as bring in some of best food writers in the country. The result: Listen, read, laugh, dance in the kitchen, and taste for yourself.

Michael Hearst is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and writer. He is a founding member of the band One Ring Zero, which has released nine albums, including the literary collaboration As Smart As We Are (The Author Project), featuring lyrics by Paul Auster, Margaret Atwood, Dave Eggers, and Neil Gaiman, among others; Planets, a collection of new compositions to represent the solar system and beyond; and their most recent, The Recipe Project, in which the band has taken recipes from today's top chefs (Mario Batali, Tom Colicchio, David Chang, etc.), set them to music, and sing them word for word.
