    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Small touches make a big difference to the way your meal tastes. Fresh dill and green onions make a salad taste amazing. Browned butter can serve as a sauce on its own for fresh vegetables or pasta, while caramelized onions make a sandwich gourmet.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    On hot days, it's an effort to cook, so why not keep it minimal? Toast thin slices of some good bread and spread with herbed goat cheese (you can make your own by mashing chervil, parsley or your own blend). Top with radish and tomato slices and salt. Voila!

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Generally you don't want to buy too many one-use appliances, but if it's for something you truly love and would make all the time, go for it. After all, if a gelato maker gets used regularly, it becomes more of an investment and less of a splurge.

    The egg is elegant, and when it's deviled, it's unbelievably delightful. Use your creativity to come up with other yolk mixtures. Try wasabi and soy sauce or bread crumbs and bacon to surprise and please your guests.

    A well-balanced meal helps you be at your best at every moment of the day. And that doesn't mean that you always have to have a grain, a protein, and two vegetables every time you eat. Think about balancing all five kinds of flavors, too.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Mediterranean eating is an especially great source to draw from during the abundant summer months when fruits and vegetables are so ripe they're literally falling off the vine. So why not make zucchini stuffed with vegetables Provencal tonight?

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Ain't no shame in your game. You love cheerfully admitting you're new to a task and then relying on beginner's luck to produce an impressive result. So why not tackle macarons or a souffle right now? You might even impress yourself.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Food is medicine. Chicken noodle soup can relieve congestion (and give you much-needed nutrients during a head cold, when it's hard to eat). Fresh fruit and vegetables are potent everyday defenses to keep you healthy for the rest of your life.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Sometimes your far-reaching imagination means you lose sight of the basics. Don't forget good old-fashioned granola -- it's filled with nutrition and great as a yogurt topping for breakfast. You can make a decadent dark-chocolate version for dessert, too.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Pacify those sweet tooth cravings with a healthy choice. Opt for a piece of fruit or low-fat Greek yogurt topped with granola. It feels strange at first to get your sugar from natural sources instead of with a candy bar, but once you retrain your palate, you'll love it.
