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.

White Beans and Lemon

Divas love to do lunch and here is a nice salad to serve at the next one. Beans are a great source of fiber and protein and they look so pretty in this salad.

White Beans and Lemon

1 can white beans like Great Northern or Cannelli, drained

3 squeezes lemon

2 sprinkles parsley

Put in all in a bowl, mix, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Bring them to room temperature before you serve.
Put them on top of a pretty, leafy salad mix.

Make it a meal: Serve with Rosemary Salmon (see recipe) or just a side of fruit.

Wine: Chablis
