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.

Crabmeat Appetizer

This recipe called for everything to be FINELY chopped. Mine does not. I will chop however coarsely or finely or whatever I want. I do not have time to discern finely. (photo by ian ransley)

The bottom line is divas don’t like to be told how to chop their vegetables.

Crabmeat Appetizer

1 lb. cooked crabmeat
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
1/4 cup red bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. parsley, minced
1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced

Mix & chill.

Make it a meal: Divas are still steaming about how to chop their vegetables, so there is no meal per say. If you are still hungry, soak some more olives in your martini and eat them.

Wine: Chardonnay or Champagne
