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.

Tomato, Cucumber, & Feta Salad

Here in my hometown, the Greek-Americans are celebrating "Gledi." In honor of my Greek neighbors, I am making this versatile dish. These ingredients are in season, so this should taste especially fresh.

Tomato, Cucumber, & Feta Salad

2-3 cucumbers, chopped

2 tomatoes, chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped

2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

basil

salt & pepper

1/2 cup feta cheese

Dressing

3/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

For the salad, just mix all the ingredients together in a pretty bowl.
For the dressing, mix and pour over salad.

Option: Add Kalmata olives, chopped

Make it a meal: Serve with your favorite gyro.

Wine: Greek wine is truly awful. Try a nice Cabernet Sauvignon.
