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.

Chicken & Mushrooms in Wine

What to do with leftover wine? Frankly, this is hardly ever a problem in my home. I adore all the fancy corks friends give me as gifts for wine I was unable to finish. They have all gone largely unused. Sometimes I use them for vinegar or oil.

It did happen once, though, and this is what I did with it.

Chicken & Mushrooms in Wine

2-3 chicken breasts

1 cup white wine

a bunch of sliced mushrooms or 1 can

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped or a few healthy sprinkles garlic powder

a small handful parsley, chopped

goat cheese

Throw all but the goat cheese in a crock pot and cook for 4-5 hours.
Put the cheese in the last 30 minutes.
Serve over rice.

Make it a meal: Serve it with steamed cheesy peas (see recipe).

Wine: Chardonnay
