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.

Turkey Sandwich with Pesto Mayo & Craisins

Here’s a new twist on an old favorite. I have always loved turkey sandwiches with stuffing and cranberry sauce. It occurred to me Craisins or dried cranberries could deliver some of that same sweetness and flavor without opening up an entire can. The first time I tried this, I was conservative with the Craisins. Don’t be. Go nuts!

Turkey Sandwich with Pesto Mayo & Craisins

1 whole wheat bagel or other hearty bread

1 spoonful store-bought pesto

1 spoonful mayonnaise

1 small handful Craisins or dried cranberries

a couple slices Deli turkey

a few slices cheese (Havarti is nice and so is brie.)

lettuce

Toast the bagel.
Mix the pesto and mayo together; spread on both sides of the bagel.
Put the Craisins on the bottom bagel slice.
Add the turkey and top with cheese and lettuce.

Make it a meal: Serve with chips!

Wine: This depends on the cheese you choose. Havarti and brie go nicely with Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.
