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.

Roasted Vegetables with Wine

I love the flavor of wine in my food--sauces, marinades, and here on vegetables. Besides, the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of wine, and what's a girl to do with the rest? Cheers!

Roasted Vegetables with Wine

2 potatoes, diced

a couple handfuls of small brussels sprouts

1/2 butternut squash, diced

a couple handfuls pearl onions

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 glugs olive oil

1/2 cup dry white wine

salt & pepper to taste

a few sprinkles parsley

a few sprinkles of Parmesan cheese

Mix everything except cheese in a pretty bowl.
Put in the oven at 425 degrees covered for 25 minutes.
Uncover and roast for 20 more minutes.
Serve with Parmesan cheese on top.

Make it a meal: Serve with chicken that has been marinating in Mojo Criollo (see Food Recipe article for The Best Marinade).

Wine: Whatever is leftover.
