Sharon O'Connor is a professional cellist and amateur cook who had the bright idea to combine her affection for music, cookery, and books. She has assembled a volume of tasty recipes from well-known San Francisco restaurants, accompanied by a compact disc of chamber music recorded by the string quartet to which she belongs. This addition to the successful Afternoon Tea Serenade series combines recipes from 23 famed tearooms (the Ritz-Carleton, in its various cities, is heavily represented) with tea history and hints and a nicely chosen and well-played compact disc of short, accessible instrumental works. The books are available in both hardcover (with the CD ensconced in the back cover) and paperback (boxed, with the CD in a separate jewel box). They make a thoughtful gift for music or food-loving friends and a pleasant self-indulgence for oneself. --Sarah Bryan Miller
Sharon OConnor was the first person ever to pair a cookbook with music. What seems like a simple ideafood and music are a natural combinationis actually the culmination of years of life experience. As OConnor puts it, Menus and Music has packaged up my life.
After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley with degrees in music and sociology, O'Connor trained at the renowned Amsterdam Conservatory of Music. She began her career as a performer with the San Francisco Ballet and Opera and has worked with famed performers such as Frank Sinatra, Van Morrison, Tony Bennett and Linda Ronstadt. She has also recorded with the American Conservatory Theater, Aretha Franklin, John Williams, and for numerous Hollywood film scores. She continued her musical career as the founder and cellist of the San Francisco String Quartet.
A lifelong amateur chef, OConnor began looking for a way to combine her loves for music, food, travel, and writing. Twelve years ago, while driving across the San Francisco Bay Bridge after a performance with her string quartet, she came up with the idea for Menus and Music.
Now, fourteen volumes later, O'Connor OConnor travels the world to research each cookbook and is an expert in adapting recipes from professional chefs for the home cook. Equal time is devoted to meeting with other musicians, mixing, arranging, editing, and performing the musical selections on the compact discs.
Sharon OConnor makes her home in the San Francisco Bay Area with her two daughters and husband. Her family enthusiastically helps in the research, travel, and tasting for her series.
