Soprano in the Kitchen is an original project created by opera singer and food lover Maria Mourkoussi. It combines gastronomy and music, two complementary forms of art speaking a universal language with no words.

The aim of this project is to soothe the viewer’s/listener’s eyes and ears with food-related images and beautiful melodies; to bring together people of all ages, genders, professions, and origins sharing the passion of art, music, and taste; to urge everyone to listen to their flavours and taste their melodies; and to help them make soulful music and heartfelt food.The aim of this project is to soothe the viewer’s/listener’s eyes and ears with food-related images and beautiful melodies; to bring together people of all ages, genders, professions, and origins sharing the passion of art, music, and taste; to urge everyone to listen to their flavours and taste their melodies; and to help them make soulful music and heartfelt food.

Each post is like a four-part composition, or a recipe made with four ingredients if you like. It consists of: a Photograph featuring local produces or a home-made recipe prepared by Soprano in the Kitchen with fresh ingredients by Greek farmers; a (hopefully suitable) Music Pairing suggestion for each food theme, i.e. a music piece carefully ‒ and rather subjectively ‒ selected to match each dish; a Food Note including short information about the dish or produce shown in the photograph; and a Music Bite, a brief text focusing on the selected melody, the composer and/or the performer(s), followed by a YouTube link to help you have a fuller gastro-audiovisual experience when visiting the website.

Soprano in the Kitchen is a multi-tasking solo player. She pairs food and music herself; cooks, styles, photographs food on her own; creates content and produces texts single-handed. She is also self-taught and self-financed (for the time being at least!).
