Aries (March 21 - April 19) Who says pesto has to consist of basil, garlic and pine nuts? Make up your own variation. Try using cilantro for the main herb or macadamia nuts and shallots for the other two ingredients. You might just come up with a new favorite.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Whatever you eat today, make sure it comes from whole foods, not processed and pre-packaged ones. That means reading labels, eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding any 'cuisine' that comes from a vending machine or a gas station mini-mart.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Do a sweep of your kitchen drawers and cupboards. Chances are you'll find a good many items you can regift, sell or donate. And you might just discover something that will inspire you to make a new dish, like antique biscuit cutters.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Whimsy is your watchword for today. You get the urge to marinate tofu in Lapsang Souchong and soy sauce, or to turn a pile of cream puff shells into a handy new way to serve different savory appetizer fillings. Your creations will charm and delight.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You never scoff at a frilly cake doily or a snazzy and colorful cocktail toothpick that holds your hors d'oeuvre together. Today, get crafty and think of creative and colorful ways to decorate, display or fasten your food.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) It's the kind of day where you're determined to go through every last cherry in the bin to make sure you get the best of the crop. Some might think this type of determination is unwarranted, but you're proud of the food you serve and the standards you uphold.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) You get the crazy idea to serve tuna tartare on nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips. Stroke of genius or strike out? You'll never know unless you try. If you're really on the fence, gather a few trusted advisors and have them give the dish a test run.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You're in the mood for a simple, wholesome treat like milk and cookies. Of course, now that you're older you might find that a glass of almond milk and raw gluten-free cookies are actually more pleasing to your palate than the old sugary standbys.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Develop a more sophisticated palate by branching out from your usual wine-and-beer choices. Sample a Campari and soda. Try Pernod. Make a spritz as an aperitif, the way the Venetians do. You might just find a new favorite.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) A foodie friend always scoffs at packaged foods or mixes, but you set out to show them that some of those recipes have real value. Get creative and make an old favorite, but with fresh, organic and local ingredients.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Be sure to check the listings of your local newspaper or your favorite cooking blog. A favorite chef or food writer might be stopping in your town, and this is your chance to get a book signed (or ask a question) face to face!
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Food can be an art. If you've been lucky enough to eat a food that made your jaw drop or has stayed fresh in your memory even though years have passed, write it down. It'll spark your creativity and inspire your own cooking.
