For my latest recipe I took a peek at our neighbor\u2019s cuisine and adapted the Italian Almond Cake for my purposes and my taste. The result is a fluffy cake with tender orange flavor.<\/p>\n

Most of you know me as a foodie who loves to prepare and eat delicious food. Well, taking photos is admittedly also great fun. \ud83d\ude09 What I haven\u2019t revealed so far, though, is my enormous love for music. With music things in life get so much easier. Music is like magic that has the power to keep you enchanted. Victor Hugo, the French poet (1802-1885) once said,<\/p>\n
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As soon as I start cooking you can hear music coming from the speakers in my little kitchen. The melodies and voices become ingredients of my recipes. Sometimes it is the music of classical composers and their performers, then it is the sound of jazz or the songs of contemporary artists. They all inspire, calm and animate me.<\/p>\n

This is also the reason why I don\u2019t want to withhold these wonderful melodies from you any longer and I want to present a playlist with every blog entry from now on. This is music you can listen to while cooking or eating your meal \u2026 and of course, whenever you feel like listening to it. I am going to introduce you to a lot of classical music, but also to soundtracks of films and to the music of contemporary singers and musicians.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s playlist I was also guided by the achievements of our Italian neighbors. Therefore, you will find the overture to The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, the popular Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni, The Spring from\u00a0The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, a Caprice by Nicolo Paganini and the magic sounds of Gabiel\u2019s Oboe from the soundtrack of The Mission by Ennio Morricone. These masterpieces are framed by The Philharmonic\u2019s interpretation of Oblivion by Astor Piazolla and Mozart\u2019s Piano Concert No. 20 (Romance). I compiled a list of music that carries passion and romance at the same time. Please, do tell me how you like it.<\/p>\n
