Turn The Tables: Your Favourite DJs’ Recipes

In an unexpected twist, the world’s top DJs have swapped their turntables for kitchen tables, crafting culinary masterpieces that rival their musical creations. A new cookbook, born from an initiative by Eira Haul, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the gastronomic talents of 60 renowned DJs, each contributing a unique recipe that reflects their personality and style.

This innovative project, rooted in the recent period of global lockdowns, showcases the versatility and creativity of these musical maestros beyond the decks. As turntables fell silent in clubs worldwide, many DJs found solace and expression in the kitchen, experimenting with flavors and techniques much like they do with beats and rhythms.

The cookbook reads like a who’s who of the electronic music scene, featuring an eclectic mix of dishes that mirror the diverse sounds these artists produce. From Kangding Ray‘s aromatic “Red Kuri Squash Laksa” to Nathan Micay‘s vibrant “Orange Turkey Rice Bowl“, each recipe offers a unique insight into the tastes and influences that shape these artists’ musical journeys.

Amotik‘s contribution of “Aloo Paratha” brings a taste of Indian street food to the mix, while Eira Haul‘s “No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Torte” provides a sweet finale to this culinary symphony. These recipes not only satisfy the palate but also tell stories of cultural heritage, global travels, and personal memories that inform each artist’s musical style.

Beyond its culinary appeal, this project carries a noble purpose. All proceeds from the book sales will be donated to the Open Music Lab in Berlin, a volunteer-run music school. This gesture underscores the electronic music community’s commitment to nurturing future talent and giving back to the industry that has shaped their careers.

The Open Music Lab, known for its inclusive approach to music education, will benefit greatly from this initiative. By supporting this school, the project aims to break down barriers to music production and performance, ensuring that the next generation of electronic music artists has access to quality education and resources.

This cookbook represents more than just a collection of recipes; it’s a testament to the resilience and adaptability of artists in challenging times. It demonstrates how creativity can flourish in unexpected ways and how passion for music can translate into other forms of expression.

For fans, this book offers a unique opportunity to connect with their favorite DJs on a more personal level. Preparing these dishes at home allows music enthusiasts to experience a taste of their idols’ lives off-stage, creating a deeper connection between the artist and the audience.

As the electronic music scene continues to evolve and adapt to changing times, initiatives like this cookbook remind us of the community’s strength and creativity. It proves that whether in the booth or in the kitchen, these DJs continue to mix, blend, and create experiences that resonate with people around the world.

This delectable compilation is now available. It invites music and food lovers alike to embark on a culinary journey guided by the tastemakers of the electronic music world. It’s a chance to turn the tables on your expectations and discover the flavors that fuel the beats you love.
