3. Bob Dylan & Tom Petty

3. Bob Dylan & Tom Petty

A penny for your thoughts, Bob? Here's a candid image of one of the greatest and most respected singer-songwriters of all time, in a pensive mood. The guy sitting next to him isn't too bad either, that's Tom Petty! The two legendary country and folk performers are getting ready to perform at the first ever 'Farm Aid' in Illinois, back in 1985. The festival, which is based around raising money for farmers in the USA, continues to run to this day. It was founded by some more country legends - WIllie Nelson and Neil Young - and they brought in some friends to help get things off the ground. It helps when you have friends like these!

Already world renowned in their own right, Dylan and Petty joined forces in 1988 to form the Travelling Wilburys, a supergroup that also contained George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne. And who knows - the conversation that started the whole thing off might have taken place right here, at the exact moment this picture was taken!

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
