Do you make playlists for important meals? It's always something I intend to do, but abandon at the last minute in favor of letting Pandora put music together for me. Well, there's a blog that does the next best thing: pair music directly with recipes!
Turntable Kitchen does just that: with every recipe they feature, they include a link to a song, playable right from the site. How exactly does a recipe for tortilla soup, for example, pair with Moves from The New Pornographers? Kasey and Matthew, the couple behind the site, look to inspire food and music lovers alike.
Recipes are more than the standard fare, ranging from Roasted Cornish Hens with Sumac-Ginger Butter to Cardamom Buns. And the music reflects artists new and old like The Vagrants, Los Jardines de Bruselas, and We Are Trees, Kasey and Matthew have come across and want to share. It's easy to listen to the music right from the site and they even have a page devoted to mix collections.
What's your favorite food/music pairing?

I listen to music whenever I cook, so I like making logical couplings. My favorites pairs were peach cobbler + Peaches and your butterbeans with caramelized onions + The Carolina Chocolate Drops (they do a great version of Cornbread and Butterbeans).
I've gotta say Jamiroquai is always welcome in the kitchen when cooking, but when eating, it needs to be more downbeat.
I can't recommend anything better for cooking than Luxuriamusic.com. To memory, they are: tiki, bachelor pad, space age. Makes me feel like Jane Jetson while cooking in my mod abode!
