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.

Baked Trout with Parmesan

So delish and so easy! This can be made last minute for when unexpected, but delightful company shows up. This takes no time to whip up, so take your time doing your make-up.

Baked Trout with Parmesan

1 lb. trout fillet

1 cup sour cream (I use low-fat)

2 big splashes white wine or lemon juice

1 slice onion, chopped

3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese

salt

Paprika

Place fish in a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, wine, onion and salt; spread over fish.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve over rice.

Make it a meal: Serve with steamed broccoli.

Wine: Pinot Noir (my pick) or Chardonnay (my other pick)
