Take one edgy indie-rock band. Add a handful of celebrated chefs. Add music, and a handful of the country’s best food writers. The result? “The Recipe Project,” a collaboration recipe book, essay collection and CD combo from the band One Ring Zero and chefs including Mario Batali and David Chang. Each song is a musical adaptation of a recipe. Silly and smart all at once, a good gift for your musical foodie friends.
