Anthony Hamilton takes star turn in the kitchen with Chefd.com partnership

LeAnn MuellerAnthony Hamilton is known for cooking up fresh music for his fans, but the singer-songwriter is currently taking his artistic inclinations into the kitchen.  

The entertainer has partnered with meal kit delivery service Chefd.com to create his own collection of recipes. He tells ThisisRnB that his new venture is “therapeutic.” 

“I just love cooking. I love food. It’s all about pairing your passion with an opportunity and making it create new avenues for yourself,” Anthony adds.  

He tells the music website that his tasty meals offered via Chefd.com include honey dill salmon, pan seared chicken breast with sauteed cabbage and turkey bacon, and rack of lamb with curry corn and a mustard sauce. Hungry yet? 

The performer also lists a handful of artists he likes to listen to while cooking. “I’ll put on a little Sade or something like that,” he says.  

“Music that’s gon’ speed up the cooking of the food. Kem, and sometimes it’s just an instrumental like Boney James or Wynton Marsalis, any of those greats — Herbie Hancock, Corinne Bailey Rae.”  

Now that he’s a chef, Anthony also promises that a restaurant is on the way, along with new music that he’s producing behind the scenes for his background vocal group, The Hamiltones.  

He explains, “The music thing is shifting to me being behind the scenes and bringing out some new talent. I’m producing them and putting them out and just seeing what happens and what we can create with that.”  

Look out for Anthony Hamilton’s recipes on Chefd.com starting August 1.
