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.

Chocolate Pots

This chocolate dessert is so rich, I serve it in tiny espresso cups. Lord knows I never serve espresso in those little cups. That machine is baffling. I serve this with whipped cream and butter cookies on the side.

Chocolate Pots

1/2 cup cream (I use half and half)

3 1/2 oz. chocolate (I like dark)

1 egg yolk

generous splash of brandy

2 knobs of butter (as Jamie Oliver calls them)

Heat the cream in a saucepan, then add the chocolate.
Stir until the chocolate is melted, then remove from heat.
Stir in the egg yolk.
Stir in the brandy.
Pour into espresso cups.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.


Make it a meal: Serve after Crock Pot Portuguese Chicken

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, or Irish Coffee
