Sounds Italian
When the aroma of garlic and basil waft through the house, it's Andrea Bocelli for me. Time to chop and clean? Eric Clapton.
Lately for us, it's all
Lately for us, it's all about Feist in the kitchen - my toddler loves to be picked up and bounced around while we chop and sautee!
Cooking music
When I cook Mexican food, I like to listen to Lila Downs--all of her discs are fabulous. Also Los Super Seven.
