After some kitchen disasters, Angela Medearis went from a cooking novice to a culinary historian eager to share her knowledge with others. Becoming the sassy, boa-wearing Kitchen Diva helped make sharing her message fun and inspired her popular TV show of the same name. The Kitchen Diva Cooks! is a collection of recipes from her motivational show, which teaches viewers about the history of their favorite foods, how to prepare healthful meals, and how to make cooking enjoyable.
