    Aries (March 21 - April 19)

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Don't believe the hype until you've seen it yourself. Maybe a fancy restaurant in your town gets a big thumbs-down from food critics, but you ate there recently and it's great. Believe your own experience.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    That stubborn streak of yours won't rest until a certain recipe is authentic. But if it tastes good, who cares? Go ahead and serve it. If it makes you feel better, you can preface the meal by saying that it's not quite the real thing.
