SARAH’S SAVORIES

Want to know the dirty little backstage secrets of Lilith Fair and its creator, Sarah McLachlan?

“There were days,” one tour insider confides, “when she would devour a plate of macaroni and cheese!”

And that’s not all.

“Sarah would make a great pastry chef. Chocolate is her big downfall.”

OK, so it’s not exactly the stuff inquiring minds want to know. But what do you expect from the tour’s chef, Jaime Laurita? If your taste buds are inquiring, though, he’s the guy to turn to.

Laurita has just published “Plenty: A Collection of Sarah McLachlan’s Favorite Recipes,” with an array of starters, entrees and desserts, as well as photos of the dishes and McLachlan on the road.

“With Sarah, I’ve been cooking for her for a long time and I know her really well and know . . . how to change her mood with food,” says the Chicago-based chef. “In L.A., with so much press and so much pressure, I’d give her sushi and she’d go, ‘Oh my God, that’s just what I was thinking about.’ ”
