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.

Cod with Lemon and White Pepper

Everyone has their favorite lemon and fish recipe. Here's mine. Don't go too heavy on the flour or it will be soggy. Keep it light. Divas usually do.

Cod with Lemon and White Pepper

1 lb cod fish fillet

1/4 cup butter and margarine mixture, melted

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup wheat flour

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

paprika

Italian bread crumbs for sprinkling

Cut the fish into serving pieces.
In one bowl mix the lemon and butter.
In a second bowl mix the flour, white pepper and paprika.
Dip the pieces of fish into the butter bowl first, then lightly dredge through the flour mixture.
Place fish pieces on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle a bit of Italian crumbs atop each piece of fish.
Pour the unused butter mixture over the top of the fish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes until fish flakes.

Make it a meal: Serve with roasted broccoli, garlic, and grape tomatoes with a dash of thyme.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc
