It can be said that I have two passions in life: cooking and music. You have undoubtedly determined that I have a passion for cooking. Those who know me "beyond the blog" know that music is an equal, if not greater, passion. That being said, when I cook you will usually hear music in the background. The genre will vary depending upon mood, but there's something "inspirational" playing. I like so many different genres of music and I love to sing. If I need to practice a particular tune for a performance, I play it and sing while I cook.
Saturday mornings you may hear old school hip hop. A little Heavy D or Biggie to get the day flowing. Saturday afternoon you may hear jazz. There's a broad genre for you, but if I'm playing jazz, it's probably the classics sung by one of the great vocalists: Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, etc. Of course, there are classic R&B days (Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan).
Music allows my "creative juices" to flow which is a necessary component of good cooking. Cooking allows me to create masterpieces made with love.
A friend recently told me that whether I'm cooking or singing, I'm making people feel good and making them feel loved. I like that. Music in the kitchen, for me at least, is an extension of love...
What do you listen to when you cook????
Live well, eat well, enjoy...
