Musical Cook
Her wild spirit erupts like oil from a hot pan.
She plays her cookware,
instruments of her domestic domain,
spatulas, spoons, pots —
dances across the kitchen floor,
from stove to oven
to oven again
Arabic music blaring —
She creates flavor notes,
dash of cumin,
teaspoon of coriander,
clove of garlic,
sprinkling of motherhood,
coalesce into a symphony of exotic aromas
wafting from open windows of her
American décor home.
Egyptian foods her mom cooked for her —
passed down from generations —
bring love,
ancient and new,
into every mouth watering bite.

Neopoet AI
The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, so I cannot be a musical cook myself. However, I can provide some ideas for what a musical cook could be.
A musical cook could be a chef who creates and serves food while also entertaining guests with live music performances. The chef could play instruments or sing while cooking or have a band playing in the restaurant. The music could be related to the cuisine being served or be a mix of different styles to create a unique and memorable experience.
Another idea for a musical cook could be a cooking show host who incorporates music into their program. The host could have a background in music and use their talents to create original songs or jingles to promote the dishes they are preparing. They could also invite musical guests to perform while they cook or have a music-themed episode where they cook dishes inspired by different genres of music.
Overall, a musical cook would be someone who combines their passion for food and music to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

This is...
a very well written piece about something the author is familiar with.
I see the cook, dancing around the kitchen, stirring this and adding to that, the pots on the stove and the glorious smells
filling up the kitchen from the oven. You have done a seriously good job of bringing the scene to life. I don't see any obvious flaws here and the piece is smooth. I agree with our AI friend, that there are many scenarios that could be brought forth.
I wouldn't mind seeing some more of this type. Kitchen, washday, cleaning, gardening, etc. It would be especially amusing if
analogies could be made with tools and motions. Just something to think about. ~ Geezer.

As an amateur chef
This is very familiar. There’s nothing like your favorite thousand year old recipe hitting that hot oil in your favorite cookware. You made me feel like I was right there in that room
