Thread: Listening to Music While Cooking?

I personally try to avoid any distractions while cooking cos I have a really short attention span and I tend to mess up the recipe

I love listening to foreign tunes while i cook makes me seem more sophisticated lol
but seriously, I highly recommend listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim or Astrid Gilberto while cooking. They make you feel so creative and relax. I like to think of cooking as a hobby, not so much a chore.
I find doing the dishes work enough.
And to add on the tunes, a big glass of wine is my ideal cooking ambiance

It depends on how you manage everything. My mom usually cook without listening to any music. Her concentration are focus on what she's doing. So that she won't miss a single procedure and to finish without forgetting any. So for me better not to listen. But it really depends.

I often do this. I also hum or sing together with the song while cooking. There's a taboo regarding this one. I don't believe it so I'll just keep on singing and listen to the music.

If I am running behind making a meal or a cake, I can turn on a fast tune to light a fire under my bum. Gets me all hyped up! I love that! If i'm taking my time though,I love listening to Jack Johnson in the kitchen!
Banana Pancakes is such a fun song!

I agree no music here, I end up getting distracted!

I usually listen to music when I'm done with cooking. Otherwise I couldn't concentrate. I like music when I'm doing the dishes. I believe it goes faster that way

I like to play Trad Jazz when I'm cooking - the rythmn fits my movements and tasks seem so much easier, though I've got sore wrists and thumbs these days which can literally be a pain!
I know, I know - there are lots of diferent beats available - all the better, you can find a selection, load your iPod with the right ones to match each recipe!

I generally prefer the rock songs during the cooking. You know it changes my food and my positiveness feels in my food.

I always listen to music every time I cook a lot of dishes to enjoy and also, to lessen the pressure..

Young Band's, I was the band. They sing too good. greatInterior Stone Veneer
Uniting People through Art

sometimes I enjoy watching TV if, I was making a food on a slow cooker.

When I cook, I wanna listen to some kind of music that will make me relax and feel good. any suggestions? i like all types of music except screamo death metal, and country..

yeh i agree music makes the monotamus tasks (sorry for spelling) much faster and seemingly less stressful.

Hi maryjstar89,
