"moby" news and stories

I often feature celebirty recipes here, and most of them I get from Frank DeCaro's very cool site. It's always interesting to see not what celebs eat, but what they actually take the time to make themselves. I think it would be great to see Joan Collins making grilled cheese sandwiches, for example.

This recipe is from musician Moby, and it's chock full of veggies: olives, peppers, onions, tomatoes, arugula, etc. All put inside a nice loaf of ciabetta bread and topped with olive oil and spices. Full recipe after the jump.

It's too bad Frank DeCaro isn't on The Daily Show anymore. I miss his movie reviews and other commentaries.

But he has a web site, and it's not just another star site with the latest news about what he's up to, he actually has a really extensive list of recipes from celebrities! It's really well done, because you can search by the week, by the name, even by the type of meal it is.

You can make Paul Lynde's Diet Waffles, Andy Warhol's Ghoulish Ghoulash Stuffed Cabbage, and even Burt Reynold's Beef Stew. Or maybe you'd like Tony Randall's Crunchy Turkey Wraps or Vanna White's Layered Pea Salad or Moby's Pan Bagna. Whatever food you're in the mood for and/or celebrity you're interested in, there's something here for everyone. I'm going to try Richard Deacon's Bitter and Booze, which sounds like the ultimate booze dessert to drown your sorrows. Deacon wrote a microwave oven cookbook in the early 70s which I'll have to track down.
