I don’t feel equipped to offer advice on music. My music taste is pretty basic and limited. I do feel insecure about that at times. If you love Alimentari and want to listen to something that transports you to that world, I would say you should listen to three songs. Recto Verso by Paradis. Sonata Quasi una fantasia No.14 in C-sharp minor, Op.27 No.2. by Beethoven & Mala Femmina by Jerry Vale. Also, Pavarotti. Always, Pavarotti.

I’m talking romantic era circa 1870. rachmaninoff, tchaikovsky, sibelius, saint-saëns, and even later composers like scriabin and ravel. I’ve recently been fixated on sibelius symphony no. 2 and ravel piano concerto in g (the second movement definitely being the most emotional). oh, and this is neoromantic but I can’t pass up an opportunity to recommend ennio morricone’s compositions. I recently relistened to the guiseppe tornatore suite and it’s just wave after wave of bliss from the sonic landscape. I hate to be that pretentious classical music guy but I just really like talking about it lol.

Piero Piccioni was a prolific film score composer and, for me, the greatest of all time. He’s gained some recent popular interest, but really listen to these arrangements. His discography is inexhaustible but not much is known about him. Some of my favorites are “Canone Classica” and “Magic” but really anything with “Theme” in the title.

Paris is a baker & chef and her instagram will inspire you to be more creative and precise in all that you do. This woman works so hard and is so exacting. She is fluent in the language of beauty and is so gracious to invite us all behind the scenes to watch her process. Cooking can be an intimidating thing for people which makes sense because it is. I’m not a very good cook, but Paris makes me feel like I could be.

Wandering is good for the soul and the mind. I find that my inner dialogue is most lucid whilst on an early morning or late night walk. Walking has also been an excellent way for me to learn how to value being alone. Embracing the idea of quality alone time as an essential part of my life has added layers of depth and intimacy to my relationships. It also has created many opportunities for spontaneity and beauty to exist in my life in ways that continue to surprise me.

Trust me. I appreciate that man dearly. He embodies the virtues of quality, simplicity, intimacy.. He emits warmth and kindness. I’ve learned a lot from him. One of my favorite memories from this year was the first time I went over his house for dinner and ate a simple dish of Burrata di Paolo’s & tomatoes in a spicy Yemeni sauce. His food takes you home — wherever that is for you.
