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.

Mushroom, Herb, & Feta Tart

I made this for my husband recently. Big mistake. He scraped all the mushrooms off, ate the puff pastry and declared it was delicious. I think I'll make it for the book club ladies next time.

You can use any kind of mushrooms. Try using three to four different types. I used Baby Bella for the flavor and color of them.

Mushroom, Herb, & Feta Tart

1 puff pastry (the frozen kind that come two to a box), thawed

5-6 oz. mushrooms, sliced thin

butter or oil for sautéing

thyme

parsley

garlic pepper

feta cheese

Parmesan cheese, grated

Lightly oil a baking sheet and put puff pastry on it.
Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes until golden.
Remove and let cool.
Sauté mushroom in butter or oil.
Sprinkle with thyme, parsley, and garlic pepper.
Sprinkle with feta cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, again at 400 degrees.
Remove, let it cool, and cut it into squares with a pizza cutter.

Options: Use goat cheese instead of feta.

Make it a meal: Serve with other lovely appetizers at book club...no men allowed.

Wine: Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon
