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.

Goat Cheese Omelet

The key to a good omelet is letting the egg cook enough before you flip it over. I rarely do this, and thus enjoy goat cheese scrambled eggs. Then a friend, an amazing cook--not like me--gave me a fabulous non-stick pan. I put enough olive oil in for once. It was amazing. I made my first, gorgeous omelet. (photo by woodleywonderworks)
