My last marathon cook session, I noticed my legs were getting sore from standing. The floor in the kitchen is tile, so it might be less forgiving than linoleum? I started moving around more, which evolved/devolved into dancing to whatever music turned up on my randomized playlist. My legs felt better, and it was fun to listen to tunes I hadn’t listened to in years. Elliot Smith, Operation Ivy, Tears for Fears, Amy Winehouse, Jamiroquai… I’m a huge fan of Parov Stelar, Caravan Palace – not so much. Tom Waits, Tool, earlier Zero 7 stuff… There isn’t much I won’t listen to – anything from a complex beat to effects or a great voice. I can’t always say why it sounds good, just that it does…
Practice your chopping/dicing/mincing to speed/thrash/death metal or punk. But mind proper technique – only took me a few fingers to figure it out 😉
Some people take it to another level, pairing music with meal prep!
