Cooking Music

Examples: chopping vegetables beside spoken recipe steps

For a narrated recipe, compare instrumental cooking music with a mellow chillout feel. Keep measurements and chopping audible, then check the busiest passage beneath the spoken instructions.

Try The Edge Of Blue: warm melodies, soft beats, and serene, ocean-hued melodies.

Examples: children shaping cookie dough at the counter

With children shaping cookie dough, compare playful ukulele previews against their reactions. Keep the music beneath dialogue and shortlist a cue that leaves room for laughter.

Try Just Having Fun: catchy whistles, claps, ukulele, playful strings and more surprises.

Examples: pouring a chilled drink beside an ice cream display

During a chilled drink or ice cream product shot, compare guitar-led previews against the cuts. Shortlist a bouncy cue only if it leaves room for the product.

Try Caribbean Dance: strumming guitar, delicate flutes and ethnic percussion.

Examples: quick pan tosses followed by plated dish reveals

Match quick pan tosses and plated dish reveals to a bright guitar-and-drum preview. Check transitions rather than assuming a beat lands on every cut.

Try Red Sneakers: cool drums, slick guitars, percussions, horns, and whistles.

Examples: A channel title followed by the finished dish

For a cooking-show intro, preview a bright piano-and-brass passage against the title and finished dish. Find an immediate opening and a clear stopping point before trimming.

Try Together For The Weekend: bright, bouncy hip-hop track featuring piano, brass.
