    Aries (March 21 - April 19)

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    A salad can also lie flat instead of being heaped in a bowl. The classic Caprese with sliced tomatoes, basil leaves and mozzarella is a good option. Thinly sliced fennel garnished with cilantro and some sliced citrus is another great one to serve.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    It's the kind of day where reading cooking blogs or leafing through food magazines can seem so much more enticing than doing your actual work. If you can get away with a more leisurely schedule today, why not? But if you have deadlines, discipline yourself.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    One person's basil is another person's poison. Even though you may love the taste of a certain herb, someone in your life finds it anathema. You may have to learn to compromise. Perhaps you both can agree to love tarragon.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Before you go buying that bag of asparagus, check your growing season guide or talk to the vendor at the farmer's market. Is this a late-blooming patch of your favorite vegetable, or some mysterious Frankenfood that came from a giant agribusiness?

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    Don't wince when you see someone place their fresh summer tomatoes in the fridge. Frankly, some people swear by the rule to always leave them on the counter while others go their own way. Ask yourself if it's really any of your business.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Turns out many of those kitchen staples make great personal care products. A drop of olive oil tames frizzy hair or moisturizes dry hands. Almond meal, so good in gluten-free baking, is a natural way to exfoliate, and is inherently free of parabens and sulfates.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Before you blow up at finding that your favorite cereal bowl was put back dirty, count to ten. Then walk around the block. You're more than entitled to ask that the guilty party fess up and clean up, but you're not entitled to take your temper out on that person.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Doing something routine today can hugely improve your daily cooking experience. Take in your knives to get sharpened or go shopping and invest in two really good knives (one small for paring, one large for everything else) that will last a lifetime.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Take a tip from the Italians and learn to appreciate bitter flavors today. Add a strip of lemon or orange peel to your cappuccino and let it sit so the rich flavor of the coffee can blend with the oils from the citrus before you take your first sip.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Did you know that there's a proper method to steeping herbal teas (correctly known as tisanes)? Most of us just toss a teabag in some hot water, but some herbs like lavender do better in a covered pot with water that's just below boiling.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Salt and pepper, chocolate and peanut butter -- some food duos are classics for a reason. Others need to be discovered and presented properly. So wrap pancetta around some fresh figs or combine almond meal and raisins into the perfect gluten-free pie crust.
