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.

Garlic Butter

I love garlic bread, but I don't love the frozen garlic bread. Mine is better. Rich and smooth...the way I like my men. Many herb butter recipes order you to roll it into a log and wrap it in clear wrap. Forget it. Way too messy. I smash mine into ramekins my sister-in-law gave me with little lids. Easy.

Use this garlic butter on pasta or burger buns before you grill them lightly. It's also not bad atop white fish or vegetables.

Garlic Butter

1 stick of butter, softened

1 clove of garlic, smashed & chopped

1 shallot, chopped

2 pinches parsley

Mix it up in a pretty bowl, then smash it into a lovely ramekin.

Make it a meal: Serve with Seafood Chowder (see recipe)

Wine: Chardonnay, dahling!
