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.

Cauliflower Puree

This is such a great idea. Apparently Jerry Seinfeld's wife wrote an entire book about pureeing vegetables. I've been doing cauliflower for years. I got the tip from a fellow diva who is also watching her waist.

Pureed cauliflower adds creaminess without the fat and calories. Add it to soups, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. Pull them out of the freezer when needed. They only take 10 -15 minutes to thaw.

Cauliflower Puree

1 head cauliflower

2 cups chicken stock

Steam the cauliflower above a potful of chicken stock until tender.
Put the cauliflower in a blender and add chicken stock as needed.
Blend until smooth.
Put into sandwich baggies and freeze.
