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.

Steak or Chicken Marinade

Gorgeous Lis is at it again. Actually she gave this recipe to me years ago. The amounts are for about a pound of meat. I like it better with beef. I don't really measure the honey--way too messy. I just squeeze in what looks like 2 tablespoons.

This one gets compliments all the time. Divas need to be complemented all the time.

Steak or Chicken Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil or salad oil
6 cloves garlic, minced (so I use 7)
2 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. dry mustard

Mix and marinate 30 min. to several hours.

Make into a meal: Serve steak with baked potatoes; serve chicken with potato salad.

Wine: Cabernet Savignon or Zinfandel with steak or Sauvignon Blanc with chicken
