If you’re someone who loves listening to music while cooking, we’re right there with you. There’s nothing quite as exciting as blasting your Amazon Alexa all your favorite tracks while cooking up a storm in your aroma-filled kitchen. Most of you probably already know what music you’d want to hear, but we’re here to say that there are some genres that lend themselves well to cooking. Here are our favorite kinds of music to listen to while cooking.
Upbeat Folk Rock
We love soft, slow music just as much as the next person, but if we’re being honest, it just doesn’t work for the kitchen. You need music that makes you want to move, and upbeat folk rock does that and then some. Whether it’s bands such as The Eagles, The Byrds, or Mumford and Sons, you’ll be singing along while making your favorite Pad Thai.
Soft Jazz
If you’re looking for something upbeat but a little off the beaten path, soft jazz is the way to go. Think classy ballroom vibes—the kind of music that a tap dancer would have fun with. Even if you don’t normally listen to this kind of music, it can be the perfect background ambiance for the kitchen.
