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 Sangria

Enjoy a little sparkle and bubbles on a hot Spring night. I sipped on this in front of my manly beer-drinking friends. Before long, they requested a bit for themselves. I love a man confident enough to drink from a pink cup.

White Sangria

1 bottle dry white wine

1 bottle club soda, lime flavored

a few splashes brandy

1/4 cup sugar

1 small bunch grapes

a few slices apple, lime, and lemon

pink cups for serving

Mix it all together and serve over ice.

Make it a meal: Serve with lovely nibbly things like shrimp spread (see recipe) and Simple Bruschetta (see recipe).
