Aries (March 21 - April 19) Someone asks you the jackpot question: 'Did you make this yourself?' Go ahead and bask in the praise -- after all, you've been cooking for a while, and there's plenty to be proud of. Exchange recipes with this discerning gourmet.
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.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Give yourself a little thrill by packing something special in your lunch today: a cupcake with lavender sprinkles, a spinach salad with fresh bacon bits, pear slices and chunks of good blue cheese.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Tired of leftovers? See if you can make a combination that will wake up your taste buds -- maybe that roast chicken from two dinners ago can make a great sandwich or an addition to a salad.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You know that chamomile, lavender and mint make a great-tasting herbal tea that helps ease anxiety and insomnia. Why not try a different herb? Holy basil, also called tulsi in Ayurvedic medicine, is revered for its amazing effect on stressed-out individuals.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Strike up a conversation today with a total stranger. Maybe that barista will clue you in about how to make a perfect cappuccino. Perhaps the sous chef will share the secrets behind her herbed butter or perfectly sauced trout.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Is there anything more fun than talking about good food while eating with good friends? Whether it's homemade or served at a fantastic restaurant, eating a meal with people is one of the most basic and easily accessible joys of life.
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.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Be honest but polite about your likes and dislikes. Maybe you genuinely can't stand the taste of agave, or think that anything but whole-grain Dijon mustard is an abomination. Let your host or hostess know well ahead of time.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Being a smart shopper helps you save money and benefits your budget, too. In most grocery stores, whole foods are usually stocked along the outer aisles. The more processed and refined ones are usually stocked in the middle of the store.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) The pleasures of life enhance the joy of your day-to-day existence. But it is true that indulging in them too often will negatively affect your health, so do try to keep fried foods, baked goods and processed foods to a minimum.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Listen closely -- someone in your family has a great cooking tip. Who knew that burying an ice cube or a sliver of butter inside a hamburger patty will keep it from overcooking on the grill? This kind of knowledge is priceless.
