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.

Dipping Oil with Herbs

The best dipping oil I ever had was at a little tavern at Jay Peak, VT. We had been skiing all day and were famished. The fresh bread and spicy dipping oil and the three glasses of wine did the trick.

parsley

oregano

red pepper flakes

pepper

garlic, minced

Parmesan cheese

Mix it all together on a lovely plate and serve with fresh bread.
