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.

Chicken Merlot

Divas love cooking with wine. You might say it is a requirement.

Chicken Merlot

3 cups chopped mushrooms

1 chopped onion

2 or more cloves of garlic, chopped

2 1/2 lbs. chicken

3/4 cup chicken stock

6 oz. tomato paste

1/2 cup or more of merlot

2 tsp. sugar

Salt and pepper everything. Throw everything into a crock pot. Toss a handful of basil on top. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Make it a meal: Serve over noodles. Offer parmesan cheese on the side. Round the meal off with brussel sprouts cooked in beer.

Wine: finish the bottle of merlot with dinner.
