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.

Salmon & Caviar Pasta


Is there anything more mouthwatering to a diva than caviar and champagne? Divas take every opportunity to serve their guests caviar. Divas just need to be wary of sampling too much of the beluga while preparing the meal. The champagne needs watching, too. Divas like to cook with wine, but only occasionally does some make it into the food.

Salmon & Caviar Pasta

1/2 lb. angel hair pasta

1-1/2 cups cream

2 Tbsp. red onion, chopped, sauteed in olive oil

a few fresh chives, chopped

6 oz. smoked salmon pieces, cut into strips

2 oz. caviar


Cook pasta according to directions. Divas like al dente.
Drain and keep in colander.
Combine cream and sauteed onion in a saucepan over medium high heat.
Simmer 2 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Stir in remaining ingredients and serve over pasta.

Make into a meal: Serve with warmed spinach.

Wine: Oodles of Champagne
