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.

Sweet Potato Hash

I had this at a side dish at a local restaurant. Each time we went back, I boringly ordered the same dish so I could try the hash again. I have duplicated it here. Good thing, too. The restaurant didn't make it. Their fish was fresh, but their Chardonnay and martinis were too expensive. I'm sure that's what did them in. (photo by jetalone)

Sweet Potato Hash

3-4 slices of bacon

1/2 each red pepper and green pepper, chopped

2 thick slices of onion, chopped

2-3 sweet potatoes, cubed and almost cooked (I boil them.)

1 small can or a few ears of corn

a sprinkle of parsley

Fry the bacon and set aside.
Drain most of the fat.
Add the peppers and onions; saute for a bit.
Add the potatoes and corn.
Cook it all for a bit more.
Sprinkle with parsley and crumbled bacon.

Options: Add a dash of hot sauce to spice things up.

Make it a meal: Serve with grilled chicken or fish.

Wine: Gamay or Pinot Noir
