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.

Green Beans with Herb Butter

Dress up your green beans with this easy herb butter. Play around with the herbs. I use parsley and tarragon, but oregano and rosemary are nice, too.

Green Beans with Herb Butter

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1/2 shallot, chopped

2 pinches parsley

2 pinches tarragon

1 small squirt lemon juice

haricots verts or other green beans, cooked

Mush the first 5 ingredients and refrigerate until ready.
Drizzle the herb butter over the green beans.

Make it a meal: Serve alongside Salmon with Lime Sauce (see recipe)

Wine: Pinot Noir for the the salmon, Sauvignon Blanc for the green beans
