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.

Herb Butter

I had a dinner party last night and wanted to do a little something different and easy with the green beans. The answer was herb butter. I made it earlier in the day, then let it melt over the fresh green beans right before serving. This diva reveled in the compliments.

Herb Butter

1/2 stick of butter, softened

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 dash each garlic powder, parsley, oregano

a bit of white wine

Mix everything together and smash into a ramekin.

Make it a meal: Serve atop green beans or other vegetables and along with roasted duck and Cheesy Creamy Potatoes (see recipe).

Wine: Chardonnay for the beans and potatoes, Cabernet Sauvignon for the duck
