Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Elegant White Fish

I learned this dish from my aunt Sharon, a fellow diva. Of the many things I've learned from Shanny, the most important is that anything that sparkles must be worn. This is especially true for sunglasses, footwear, and anything that draws attention to our ample breasts. In fact, I have not yet had a chance to share with her my newest favorite make-up: Bare Naturale all-over mineral glow in pink glow. It makes your entire face sparkle.

Elegant White Fish


1 lb. white fish such as tilapia or haddock

1 can cream o' celery soup

a couple of plops of sour cream

a handful of dill

shredded cheese (I like Swiss)


Place the fish on a cooking sheet. Mix the soup and sour cream and pour over fish. Sprinkle with dill. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Pull out and sprinkle cheese. Bake another few minutes.

Make it a meal: Serve over rice. Divas prefer brown rice for the high fiber content. Steam some green beans.

Wine: Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
