For us C&Cers, selecting music to accompany meal making is just as important as pairing a complimenting side dish with the main course. Not only does a good tune keep your feet tapping, but also infuses some creativity while perfecting a recipe. In the spirit of spring, we compiled a few songs to celebrate the vibrant colors, fresh produce, & everything else the season has to offer food-wise. Head over to 8tracks & listen for yourself!
“Strawberry Fields Forever” BY The Beatles
q
to me e k ! Ta usic m e th
We’ve listened to this classic song throughout the years & with each play, memories of a special place are evoked, be it a garden or a childhood home. & what better way to mark the arrival of spring than with an abundance of strawberries!
“Hot Potatoes” by The KinkS The lyrics “I like the simple things in life, just give me those plain hot potatoes, & I’ll be well satisfied” remind us of a good, home-cooked meal, which we often miss in college.
“For the Price of a Cup of Tea” by Belle & Sebastian The lively beat & soft vocals turn a simple activity, such as brewing a pot of tea, into a sweeter experience.
“Homegrown” by Allan Thomas This ode to organic vegetables & those with a green thumb encapsulates some of the reasons why we love spring -- outdoor farmer’s markets & bounty harvests. It’s quirky!
“Send Me On My Way” by Rusted Root
This song brings to mind the scene in “Matilda” when she whips up a batch of pancakes & of course, our first cooking experience as children. As a sidenote, C&C’s core staff constantly listened to Rusted Root while designing the spring issue!
