One thing that most of us are doing, thanks to the present crisis, is cooking more, at least to judge from my Instagram and Twitter feeds. Now the mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston has come up with a way to develop this, to extend our love of cooking to help musicians affected by the crisis.
Notes from Musicians' Kitchens is a collection of recipes collected from musicians all over the world, and each has a story attached. A subscription-only digital recipe resource, with a £10 one-off access fee, of which 100% goes to Help Musicians UK. The aim is also to publish a cookbook which will hopefully be sold worldwide.
Whilst we are all in isolation, Notes For Musicians’ Kitchens is a means of digitally breaking bread with each other, of sharing and appreciating our diverse food cultures, of creating new memories. And once lockdown is over, just think of all the new recipes you will have ready to share with friends.
For those that would like to contribute more, there is a JustGiving page to raise funds for Help Musicians.
