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.

Salmon Rice Soufflé

I came across a version of this recipe when I had some leftover cooked salmon and was bored with cream cheese and lox for breakfast. This worked splendidly. I used Gouda for rich flavor and brown rice for fiber.

The recipe I saw said to pour it all into an oblong casserole dish. Why on earth does that matter? I put it into my pretty round white casserole dishes and it was fantastic! The current man in my life didn’t complain one bit about the shape of the casserole.

Salmon Rice Soufflé

1 c. cooked rice

1 c. grated cheese

2 small shallots, chopped

1 can salmon (or use cooked leftovers)

2 eggs, beaten

dash salt

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 c. melted butter

1 c. milk

Mix rice, cheese, onion and salmon.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a pretty bowl.
Stir into salmon mixture.
Pour into an oiled casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Make it a meal: Serve with steamed broccoli.

Wine: Pinot Noir
