Food and Music - two of the most magical things on this planet.

I am writing a Cookbook in which I am also sharing my love for (and taste in) music. This idea has evolved from my original thought of a standard cookbook format to include Top 5 lists based on feedback from those who consistently taste my food. The working title has also evolved from ‘Not my best effort…’ to ‘Structured Chaos: The Process of Preparing and Cooking a Meal’ to ‘Food as Song: My Culinary Playlist’. I can't imagine cooking at home without listening to music. I am inspired (by the finished product that is song) to work similar magic on a dish and/or a meal; to bring contrasting and complementary ingredients together in a fusion of flavors, textures, aromas, and presentation. To this ultimate end of layering food and music I am (somewhat randomly) assigning a subgenre of music to each category or section in the cookbook. Examples: Rockabilly to Starters/Appetizers and Hard Rock to Potatoes; yes potatoes get their own section - I love potatoes. I am also assigning a particular song from the associated subgenre to each recipe. And I still intend to have a Top 5 in each section and I will include an historical note or two with each song entry and with each recipe.
