MUSIC THAT COOKS
I
know, I know – you’re asking yourself, “What does music have to
do with food?”
When you’ve got some down time and you’re doing what you love to
do, most of you do that something with great music accompanying
your every move. For me, listening to music helps me relax and
inspires creativity, providing ideal conditions for slicing and
dicing.
Music that Cooks is a list of compilations that I love to
listen to while I’m preparing or eating, or even cleaning up,
food. My hope is that you will discover a few gems amongst those
listed below that you can add to your own list of favorites.

John
Legend - Get Lifted
This R&B album is rich and diverse. From one song to the
next, you'll never know what you're going to hear,
but you're always going to be pleasantly surprised.
Includes appearances by Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg,
Kanye West, and
Miri Ben-Ari.
Van
Morrison - Moodance
I used to despise this music, mainly because I
hadn't really given it a chance and just assumed
that it all sounded the same (just like "Brown-Eyed
Girl"). Now that I've really listened to it, I love
it. I'm sure maturing tastes has played its part as
well, but regardless, perfect music for cracking
open a bottle of red and putting a leisurely meal
together.
Tony
Bennett - Duets
I'm
really starting to love this guy. I know I've had an
entire lifetime to appreciate him, but I'm just
getting there now. His latest album, Duets,
certainly isn't hurting the cause either. This
compilation is a collection of jazz favorites, each
performed by Tony and one of a number of music
giants from various music genres. A very easy
listen, whether you're a Bennett die-hard or brand
new to jazz music.
