Canada’s darling chef Matty Matheson is creating something real fuckin’ special for us with Roadrunner Records – a vinyl cookbook, and it’s called A Cookbook. It’s the first cookbook to be released on vinyl, plus it will be the first audio cookbook available on streaming platforms. He’s also got a new cooking show on Youtube called Just a Dash – and if you think Canada is all about Justin Trudeau, being polite and apologizing, please watch Episode 2: Halifax Donair for a more accurate portrayal of Canadians. Once again, Canada is setting the bar high.
A Cookbook features 12 recipes (and the stories behind them) from Matty’s best-selling cookbook with narration by the chef himself. You also get a 40-page newsprint zine featuring the recipes, along with a song pairing from the Roadrunner catalog selected by Matty. A Cookbook is available for pre-order here and ships out on November 22nd. There are a couple of US dates left on his THE HAPPY VULNERABLE TASTY SADNESS HAPPY TOUR – check those at the bottom of the page. For now, here’s a few things to keep you entertained today, so make sure to watch a couple of episodes and get inspired to cook:
Growing up, listening to all the bands on Roadrunner; Madball, Machine Head, Type O Negative, Sepultura and so on, they became the foundation of my music DNA. I get the honor of being on that same label. To release this album is more than a dream come true, this is for every kid that can’t play an instrument or scream into microphone but loves the fuck out of records; this is for all of us!
