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 Zinfandel Cocktail

A colleague of my husband's came to our cocktail party with a big jug of White Zinfandel. It was quite sweet, but I hate the stuff. Apparently he was unaware of my nickname, the Chardonnay Queen. So this is what I did with it to make it more palatable.

This is also nice for those of us sick to death of Cosmopolitans but still like pretty pink drinks. It is a little lighter, too.

White Zinfandel Cocktail

2 oz. White Zinfandel

1 oz. Chambourd

2 oz. lemon or lime flavored soda water

Throw the White Zin and Chambourd into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake.
Pour into a pretty glass.
Top with soda water.

Make it a meal: Serve with hamburger sliders and green beans.
