Cooking with the Dead: Recipes san Stories from Fans on the Road by Elizabeth Zipern
Elizabeth Zipern’s Cooking with the Dead: Recipes and Stories from Fans on the Road is an ethnography disguised as a cookbook. It preserves a vanished ecosystem of cooks, vendors, travelers and improvisers whose contributions rarely appear in histories of the Grateful Dead.
Between the fall of 1993 and the fall of 1994, Zipern traveled from show to show collecting recipes and interviewing the people who fed the touring community.
