Do you whistle while you work? Hum to the tune of your favorite foods? Like to get a little jiggy in the kitchen? Food, drinks, and music are the perfect mood-enhancing combination. Twice a month, this blog will explore the intersection between feelings, memories, sounds, and flavors by providing fun recipes accompanied by drink and music pairings. Culinary explorer and resident singer-in-the-kitchen Nicole Capó will also highlight awesome women doing interesting things in music, food, and beverage and discuss how these things bring out the best in each other.

It’s September, and the crisp weather we’ve been getting these days is a reminder that summer can’t last forever. It may be the end for fresh berries and tomatoes, but the colder seasons make it acceptable to be gluttonous as all hell and wear sweatpants every day. Food once more becomes creamy, decadent, warm and comforting. Sure, summer food feeds your body and makes you feel healthy, but winter food feeds your soul.
