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.

Perfect Potato Salad

There are many variations of potato salad. This one is tried and true. Sometimes I like to put chicken bullion into the boiling water for extra flavor.

Perfect Potato Salad

4 large russet potatoes, cubed

3/4 cup mayonnaise

2 scoops sweet pickle relish

3 tsp. white sugar

2 tsp. onion, chopped

1 scoop Dijon mustard

2 cap-fuls Champagne vinegar

1 celery stalk, chopped

2 sprinkles parsley

salt & pepper to taste

Boil the potatoes until soft, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the rest of the ingredients in a pretty bowl.
When the potatoes are done, drain and stir into the mayonnaise mixture.
Sprinkle some paprika on top for a polished look.

Make it a meal: Serve with your favorite BBQ chicken and Grilled Asparagus (see recipe)

Wine: Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
