“If music be the food of love, then why not combine them?”
Everyone accepts the fact that music makes an excellent accompaniment to cooking and dining, but here at ClassicsToday.com we look at this phenomenon from a slightly different perspective. Over the years it transpires that just about all of us, editors and writers alike, enjoy cooking (and eating), but rather than let the music take a back seat, we’ve decided to place the music front and center and let the food accompany the music. After all, what can be more pleasant than listening to great music (meaning really paying attention to it) while enjoying an excellent meal? Is there any reason why you can’t do both? We often do, and we think you might like to also.
Time, particularly leisure time, is at a premium in our busy lives. And although some regard classical music as a solemn ritual to be experienced in what amounts to virtual sensory depravation (aside from hearing, of course), we don’t see why two pleasurable activities can’t be combined to excellent effect. So this column gives us a chance to have a little fun, maybe even be a bit silly from time to time, but more importantly to show how naturally and enjoyably the classics can be integrated into today’s frantic lifestyles.
Over the past year, your friendly editors and writers have been researching, cooking, exchanging recipes and ideas, testing cookware and baking equipment, and in general thinking about what music we like to hear when making and enjoying our favorite recipes (and how best to prepare them). This new feature, which will be updated regularly, is the result of our efforts, and we hope you will try some of the combinations that we suggest. At the very least we trust you will find these articles amusing, perhaps thought provoking, and without taking the premise too seriously consider cooking some tasty food to accompany your listening sessions, and in this way find room to let a little more music into your life.
Happy Listening, and Bon Appetit!
