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.

Crab & Orzo Salad

Salad or pasta dish? I think of salads as being cold. This can be served either warm or cold. Divas can be warm or cold. It depends if you bought them a convertible for their birthday or cleaning equipment.

Crab & Orzo Salad

1 cup orzo

½ onion, chopped

1 can crab meat

12 Roasted Grape Tomatoes (see recipe) or 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp. chili sauce (I use Thai chili sauce)

1 squeeze lemon juice

salt & pepper

3 drops hot pepper sauce

Cook orzo according to directions.
Sauté onion.
Combine orzo onion, crab meat, and tomatoes.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
Pour the spicy sauce over the orzo mixture and serve.

Make it a meal: This is a great light lunch on its own or it can be a side dish with Baked Trout with Parmesan (see recipe).

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
