What is an improv kitchen? It's a place where culinary creativity entwines with inspired ingredients - or whatever you happen to have in your pantry at any given time. Its a place where cooking is a fun and even sensual experience. Its a place where recipes are guidelines, not mandates. And of course, its a place filled with love and music! When I'm in the kitchen cooking, there must be music if the experience is to be complete. Music is as essential to living as food is, and it also can inspire one to be even more creative.
As jazz music is improvisational, where musicians inspire one another to create music in the moment, so it can be in the kitchen. Becoming one with the food, with the act of creating the dish and with the entire experience of preparing something delicious is the essence of an improv kitchen.
