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.

Fra Diavolo Pasta Sauce

While my Broccoli & Cheddar Soup (see recipe) is cooking, I am going to report on one of my newest favorite products. This pasta sauce claims to be hot and spicy. It delivers! Divas love everything hot and spicy, not just their men. It is put out by The Silver Palate.

I love that the first ingredient is "imported San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes" (I suppose that's in Italy somewhere) and the second is "California whole peeled and crushed tomatoes." I was so impressed with this I read on: "imported olive oil, fresh onions, fresh carrots, salt, fresh garlic, pear concentrate, crushed red peppers, and spices." No high fructose anything! No sugar! No tomato puree!

While it is great on pasta, my current man and I enjoyed dipping fried ravioli in it in front of the fire with a fine $11 bottle of Chianti. Now that's hot!
