Lynne Kiesling
Speaking of music, the leader of my current favorite band, Franz Ferdinand, has written a book called Sound Bites, which is largely a compilation of his food columns for the Guardian. Alex was a chef before he was a rock star, and he writes with a lot of humor about his culinary experiences while touring and from his past. Hear him talk about the book and the band on this recording of his Fresh Air appearance from early January; read more about the book in this Washington Post article (hat tip to my friend Diane for this one!).
