We think it’s fun to have music playing while we’re cooking and getting dinner ready. In “The Family Dinner” book, we asked some of our favorite rock & roll girlfriends what they listen to while they’re making dinner. Here’s what a few of them said:
CAROLE KING: “It wasn’t easy to settle on a top five, but the CDs below are definitely among my favorites, and you might enjoy them while rolling out a pie crust.”
• That’s the Way of the World, by Earth Wind & Fire
• Continuum, by John Mayer
• The E.N.D., by The Black Eyed Peas
• The Best of James Taylor
• Speak for Yourself, by Imogen Heap
SHERYL CROW: “I’m always listening to music! When I cook, I might put on any one of these.”
• Greatest Hits by Al Green
• Back to Black, by Amy Winehouse
• Madame Butterfly, by Giacomo Puccini
• Tea for the Tillerman, by Cat Stevens
• Tumbleweed Connection, by Elton John
NANCY WILSON: “Growing up, music and dinner went hand in hand at my house. It still does.”
• Ronroco, by Gustavo Santaolalla
• Blue Incantation, by Sanjay Mishra
• Ingenue, by k.d. Lang
• Together through Life, by Bob Dylan
• Harvest Moon, by Neil Young
• Baby Guitars, by Nancy Wilson (Nancy says: “I’m throwing this one in. I made it to help babies fall asleep to, but it’s also a really nice dinner thing!”)
