A combination of two of my great loves, food writing and indie music. Taste In Music compiles a number of essays and conversations with a wide range of indie musicians as well as promoters and even Phoebe Bridgers’ touring chef. There is a great joy in how food can tie you to a time and place, and it’s a great examination of how it can function as both everyday activity and individual occasion, and how the disruption to normal life of being on tour is in its own way replaced by a new normal, one that clearly varies. Robin Pecknold’s essay on the horrors of being vegan on tour in the early 2000s is great, as is the description of catering at Osheaga.
