Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

The world of Rock and Roll overflows with more decadence than you can shake a coke vial at: sex, drugs, booze, more sex, music and… food. Yes, food. Before the legends take the stage, they need their high-protein, low-fat, gluten-free, carbo-loaded favorite foods. And they need a lot of it; more food than you’ll see at a billionaire’s bar mitzvah or a king’s coronation. The deli tray at a Kiss concert could feed most of Toronto and it’s delicious as hell.
Prince needs his tofu. Iggy wants his steaks. Clinton is hanging around the waitress station, picking off the hors d’oeuvres. If they’re rock celebrity/stars and they’re hungry, they call Simon.
Simon Dickinson is the RockNRoll Chef – brilliant, eccentric, edgy and gifted, Simon hits the road when the rock gods need their ambrosia. Simon bakes and bastes, fricasees and flambes, Simon even concocts his own special protein/energy shakes for the top rockers of all time. He is the man when the masses need the manna.
The Real-Life, Near-Death Tales of the RockNRoll Chef goes backstage at some of the biggest rock extravaganzas of the past twenty years, providing a sneak peek behind the scenes of the greatest shows on earth. The tales range from the ridiculous to the outrageous and back again, with more than a few road-kills in between. Simon also includes the favorite recipes he has created for the gods of rock, everyone from Muse to Prince, The Rolling Stones, Journey and more.
The Real-Life, Near-Death Tales of the RockNRoll Chef is a cross-over book, beginning with foodies of all types while bridging over into baby boomer rock fans. Written in a terse, hilarious and ripping style, it’s an edgy read with recipes as a bonus. Given its focus on food, rock and roll and celebrities of the first magnitude, RockNRoll Chef will attract readers across a spectrum of celebrity followers to foodies to general interest audiences.
Author Simon Dickinson is literally The RockNRoll Chef, having cooked for Rock Royalty, the Royal Family and Mega Celebrities around the world including The Rolling Stones, Prince, the Clintons, Lollapalooza and many more.
Simon began his culinary career in 1976, studying at Westminster Culinary School and then hitting the road with music acts of all kinds. After a stint as stage manager for the renowned Knebworth Concerts, Chef Dickinson segued into the definitive authority on rock ‘n roll food services.
Born in Tonbridge, Kent in the year 1959, Simon spent his formative years in an entertainment family. His grandfather Bob Aylwin was a renowned publicity agent for Billy Smarts Circus, traveling Europe during war and peace, building audiences through the business of show. Simon’s Mum and Grandpa nurtured the Foodie in Simon, providing him with the artistry which would rule his life.
Today, Simon creates culinary masterpieces dedicated to the health and nutrition needs of celebrities and stars. They know, when they hire Simon, the food will be as healthy as it is delicious. Busy with his books and upcoming television series, Simon builds each project into new rock tours as part of his growing multimedia empire.
