Riceboy Sleeps Awakes, Makes Food

Frontman of Sigur Ros makes Original Icelandic Cuisine

One of my favorite things is when artists make things for their friends and family for the holidays and then later share it with everyone. Another one of my favorite things is food. That being said, I thought it was a good bit of news when Busymcbusyson himself, Jónsi Birgisson (from that one band) and his boyfriend Alex Somers not only make music, but cook things as well (ahhh! RICEboy Sleeps, I get it now). Originally a gift for friends and family during the 2007 holidays, the cute couples 'Good Heart Recipe Book' is now available for all on their website.

Being the socially conscious (and economically down) Icelanders that they are, the book features 18 "easy and simple to make" recipes that "gather fresh and beautiful ingredients," including Thai Coconut Curry, Noodle Rainbow Miso Soup, and Pistachio Pate.

The best part about this whole thing is that they also made a cooking show type video for demonstration which includes Jonsi squeezing lemon juice out of a lemon with his teeth. The alliterative dish is called "Macadamia Monster Mash" which sounds and looks amazing. Watch:

The book is available here online and here in PDF download.
