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.

The Best Marinade


This is without a doubt, the world's best marinade. It is put out by Goya and is called Mojo Criollo. You can find it in the Hispanic section of the supermarket.

I use it on chicken and pork all the time, but it can be used for steak, too. It is garlicky and tangy. The directions say to marinate meats for 30 minutes, which works, but I go all day. This is a staple in my pantry. A diva is never without her Mojo.
