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.

Another Shrimp Spread

Here's another easy one. I threw this together a few minutes before a golf outing followed by an outdoor luxury BBQ with finger buffet. For those who have more time, you can cook and chop fresh shrimp. Me? I have a tee time. (photo by GenBug)

8 oz. cream cheese (I use light)

a few plops shrimp cocktail sauce

1/2 shallot, chopped (a bit of onion is fine, too)

chives from the herb garden

2 squeezes of lemon juice

1 (6 oz. can tiny shrimp)

Mix well.
Serve with crackers or crudités.

Make it a meal: Serve ahead of Salmon Wellington (see recipe) and grilled squash and zucchini.

Wine: Chardonnay
