Though it doesn’t get as much play as the dance floor, gym or car, the kitchen—that laidback, generative heart of all homes—is easily one of the best places to listen to music. Crossing styles and eras but keeping the mood steady and upbeat, here’s a playlist of fun-for-all tracks to keep you company while cooking, whether on a Tuesday or a holiday, alone or with family and friends. Pour a glass, tie on the apron and get at it. We update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
