When I cook, I like to have music playing softly in the background. Depending on the dish (and my mood), the music will vary each time. In this new series, Movie Soundtracks To Cook To, I will share with you the movies that inspire my cooking playlists. Movies are filled with great music, and I like to mix up my playlists with songs that are both lyrical and instrumental/orchestral. Movie soundtracks are the next best thing to the motion pictures themselves, but when you’re cooking or baking, having a movie going in the background could be a bit distracting and potentially dangerous (unless you have amazing knife skills)!
My first playlist is French inspired and would be a great musical companion to a French dish or pastry that you are attempting. Happy cooking and listening!

Great list 🙂 Cooking to French music is always my favorite. Another good soundtrack is from O Brother, Where Art Thou? Especially if you are making Southern food !
Love this list, thank you! Pandora has a ’60s French Pop genre station that I LOVE. I play it during parties.
That sounds amazing! Great idea for parties – how fun!
Amazing idea. Love this.
Thanks so much!
