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.

Pesto Orzo Salad

Simple, simple, and quick. When you make this ahead of time, it is even better. I like to serve it at room temperature; my man likes it heated. He's a barbarian. I like to take leftovers to work for lunch, but I hardly ever have any. (photo by faeryboots)

Pesto Orzo Salad

1 cup orzo, cooked (I throw chicken boullion into the boiling water for extra flavor)

a few scoops store-bought pesto

chopped tomatoes

crumbled feta

pepper

Mix everything in a pretty bowl.

Make it a meal: Serve with grilled salmon.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
