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.

Grilled Zucchini & Tomatoes

It's that time of year when everyone and their cousin has zucchini to give away. This diva accepts it all. I love the long, smooth vegetable. This recipe is fresh, easy, and versitile. (photo by Dano)

Stay tuned over the next few days for zucchini and chocolate chip bread.

Grilled Zucchini & Tomatoes

1 large zucchini, chopped into bite-sized chunks

1-2 tomatoes, diced

olive oil

butter

thyme

parsley

If you are still grilling, throw all of the above ingredients onto a sheet of tinfoil and wrap it up.
I wrap it in a second sheet of tinfoil to prevent burning, because I buy the cheap stuff.

Otherwise, toss it all in a pan and saute for a few minutes until zucchini is cooked.

Options: Add shallots and a splash of white wine

Make it a meal: Serve with grilled burgers or chicken and Super Fast Potatoes (see recipe).

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc with the veggies, Cabernet Sauvignon with the burgers.
