Whenever I cook I like to have music in the background to keep things lively and fresh. It sets the tone with its tempo, and speed—echoing both the original tune and voicing the new spin that will make it to your plates and platters.
Home grown always adds the love. The food & music collage you create should suit the taste of both you and your guests. Cultural nuance helps to create appeal across many genres & venues. Regional flavors ring true and excite the palate with delicious memories.
Segues are created though slicing, dicing, searing and saucing. Your music selections keep it all moving. You may rearrange the compositions, but instrumental to all great food & music pairings is the flavor beat. Matching beats adds dimension and depth to your recipes that might not normally be created. A dash of this, a dollop of that…your food beat collage is unique to you. You may even use the same ingredients—but every time you do a mix, it’s fresh and new.
Recipes that are tried and true work well when you need to put something together by rote—but the real fun in cooking is getting so used to the basics that you stray with ease.
It’s how you jazz it up. It’s how you bossa nova with bravado. It's how you lounge around with an upbeat global flavor and spin a mix that lays down a track of excellence.
Encore! Chef.

but when you cook at home you get to play whatever you
