One could just listen to the entire soundtrack from Ratatouille. I just added a few of my favorites to the playlist.
I also have a classical music playlist that I listen to as well. There is a lot of Handel, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, George Gershwin, Saint-Saens, Bach, and many many others in that playlist. When we sit down to eat and this music is still playing, Abby will say she feels like she is in a fancy restaurant.
I once had a rule where whoever was doing the cooking got to pick the music. I put on Shania Twain. Abby was running around with her hands over her ears, Miriam was sitting at the piano playing it as loudly as she could, even Trish put on some headphones while playing on her computer. So, now I listen to either the classical music playlist or my cooking playlist.
