All you need is some tagliolini, lots of butter, grated parmesan cheese and those terrific truffles and thou. Raise your glass, make your toast, and subscribe to @TheConductorInTheKitchen

Maestro John Axelrod makes A Shave and Haircut Pesto.
We all know the cartoon with Bugs Bunny shaving and cutting the hair of Elmer Fudd in the LooneyTunes Cartoon, which is where I, and most kids, first heard classical music. I have never forgotten that funny rabbit who inspired me to make this video to the same Barber of Seville Overture by Rossini. Take a bunch of Basil, cloves of garlic, pine nuts and aged parmesan and smash it all together, smash and pound and cut and shave with a pestle in a mortar, adding olive oil and al dente farfalle pasta, and, voilà! Music never tasted so good.
Maestro John Axelrod makes A Very Verdi Vongole.
Libiamo, libiamo ne' lieti calici from La Traviata is one of the many big hits from Giuseppe Verdi, perhaps the quintessential Italian composer. Conducting it is always a pleasure, but cooking the Linguine alla Vongole, one of the most recognised Italian pasta dishes, makes your mouth swim in the Mediterranean. First add the garlic and hot chilli peppers to the cooked oil, add the cold water washed vongole verace to the pot, cover until the clams open, add chopped parsley and the al dente linguine. Raise your glass of Ca' Del Bosco Cuvee Prestige Franciacorta and sing along, like and subscribe to @The Conductor In The Kitchen and visit the website www.theconductorinthekitchen.com or other TCITK social media at https://linktr.ee/john.axelrod

Maestro John Axelrod makes A Puttanesca Habanera.
The Habanera from Bizet's opera Carmen stimulates all the senses in this Puttanesca recipe.

Maestro John Axelrod makes a Beethoven Brunello Bolognese.
“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.” So said Ludwig van Beethoven. Hence the name of my blog about wine and music: www.iambacchus.com
This recipe requires a big Brunello and a 3 hour cooked Bolognese sauce. Savor the carrots and celery cooked in onions and garlic, with brunello soaked meet, and an organic salsa pomodoro, with added purée of tomato, cooked in a ragu sauce with herbs and spices. Add a cup of milk after 180 minutes and bring to a soft boil for 30 minutes to soften the meat.
Which Brunello? a 2016 Frescobaldi Tenuta CastelGiocondo. Intensely dense and delicious. Beethoven drank 3 bottles of wine most every night and had 12 cups of coffee each morning.
Bacchus, we salute you! Music Never Tasted So Good!

Brahms Beloved is my symphony cycle with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, being re-released in 2023 in a 10 year anniversary download and boxset. If you like you can purchase on the shop page and receive a 10% discount by subscribing to my YouTube channel.
The Symphony 1 is a majestic triumph of light over darkness. Roquefort or gorgonzola piccante with a harder paste brings a more intense and widespread blue-green marbling. The melted cheese with demi-crème adds the whiteness to an otherwise extremely intense taste, darkened only by drops of balsamic glaze. Broccoli and walnuts temper it to a warm embrace of richness. The one and only, 2015 Alteo Amarone di Gino Fasoli, is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest wines I ever had the joy to drink. The blues become brighter and go down good with this wonderful wine.

Christmas is the time of the Nutcracker, when ballet is in full bloom, and Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers dances across tables and trees, scenting hallways, seducing our ears and serves us pheromones for a phenomenal inspiration for the Carbonara. The pappardelle drinks up the cooked guanciale juice, ground black pepper, 3 egg yolks and aged pecorino Romano, bringing the holiday comfort food feeling. This Nutcracker Carbonara and a passionate Grande Sinfonia Appassimento Vino Passito from Puglia is the greatest present you'll have all year.

The Conductor In The Kitchen is filmed at the Grande Salle in Chardonne, Switzerland, where Maestro Axelrod also presents The Concerts Culinaires du Chardonne, an unforgettable evening of great wine, food and music. William Tell is the legendary Swiss patriot. His arrow shooting the apple off the head of his son is as heroic a figure as the Lone Ranger riding Silver off into the sunset. Therefore, grated Swiss gala apple sweetly sours the tomato sauce of onion and celery, then aged parmesan and pecorino. The flavour is fast and furious. Rossini's Finale is forever. Enjoy the zing of the Bernasconi Le Coin du Serpents Pinot Noir from Chardonne. Combine all these together for an Applesauce Bullseye. You can learn more about Concerts Culinaires de Chardonne and the UNESCO wine region of the Lavaux: www.culinaryconcert.com www.concertsculinaires.com

Mozart is the muse with the Amatriciana, which features that ever so popular delicacy: ham (by design, as Mozart was rumoured to die from an uncooked pork chop). But of course, it is the cheek, the guanciale fried in its own oil and soaked in white wine, that is the genius of this recipe. Combine together Bucatini al dente, a spicy red pepper tomato sauce and the aptly named deliciously fresh yet dry, 2019 Chateau du Chardonne Premier Cru. The snowflakes of grated aged pecorino Romano drop like the corps du ballet at an imperial performance. This is a little Mozartiana Amatriciana.
