Rossini and Cuisine

My Professional Cooking instructor wants me to bring in some Rossini music next week.  I understand full well why.  Rossini loved good cooking.  According to what I read in my Opera 101 book, Rossini could actually tell the difference between Neapolitan and Genoese pasta just by tasting it!  So it comes as not surprise that someone in the food service industry would want to hear Rossini.  Then again, classical music and food tend to go together very well any how.
