From csmonitor.com: Music adds spice to cooking.
Sharon O'Connor can't imagine working in the kitchen without music playing in the background. But not just any music. A former cellist with the San Francisco String Quartet, she likes to find just the right piece to accompany her culinary forays. The pursuit has led her to write cookbooks that combine her passion for food and music in an inimitable way.
Each of her cookbooks comes in a boxed set with music created, performed, and recorded to suit the recipes.
Ms. O'Connor, who has cooked with such famous chefs as Daniel Boulud and Ming Tsai, is president and creator of the aptly named Menus and Music company. With 18 cookbook-CD sets already under her belt, she is now getting ready to release another eight cookbook sets later this year. [continue]
