Moog’s Musical Eatery, a long out of print cookbook from 1978, is now available on Apple Books.
The cookbook, written in 1978 by Shirleigh Moog, first wife of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog, is a glimpse into the early days of synthesis.
Back then, many musicians would make pilgrimages to the Moog factory, to learn about synthesis and synthesizers. And when they did, they would often end up at the Moog house, and being fed by Shirleigh Moog.
The cookbook features the recipes that she cooked for these musicians, including Vladimir Ussachevsky, Wendy Carlos, Keith Emerson, Patrick Moraz, John Cage, John Eaton, Joel Chadabe, Herb Deutsch, and Richard Teitelbaum. And it not only features individual recipes, but her plans for hosting up to 100 people.

What a great find! Had no idea. Instantly interested.
Of course, I want it in “analog” because, cookbooks. Alas, cheapest actual book I could find was 13 times more expensive than the digital version, because, “analog”. 🙂
Ergo, the Moog Cookbook.
