Aries (March 21 - April 19) Take the proper steps today when caring for your valuable cooking or dinnerware -- you don't want to use an abrasive cleanser on that delicate punchbowl or put a hot pan in cold water and warp the surface.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Shelve the snobbery today. Some of the best meals of your life might take place in a strip mall. Many a great ethnic restaurant starts out in humble surroundings, so make sure to explore the culinary riches your town has to offer.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You're all about easy touches that add an exponential amount of flair. If you're throwing a party, make your own sweet-and-spicy cocktail nut mix by toasting almonds, walnuts and pecans with a combination of cane sugar, spices and hot pepper.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Think about resources, time and your quality of life. What brings you genuine happiness rather than fleeting pleasure? How can you eat good food, not just larger portions of okay food? Nourishing body and soul are big topics today.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Unorthodox meal choices may be more satisfying than anything conventional. So have some beef jerky for breakfast, freeze-dried fruit for lunch and chia pudding for dinner. It may not be a schedule you want to follow everyday, but today it suits you just fine.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Some folks may not understand the principle of sharing. If you're offering a bite from your homemade lunch, make sure you specify a bite -- you don't want to have someone gobble down half a portion instead.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) So today you or someone you love gets the word that it's time to cut out salt or wheat or refined sugar out of their diet. Don't think of it as a restriction -- consider it a guideline that will help inspire more health and creativity in your cooking.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You may be cooking in a hurry today, but try and find the time to do some basic cleaning, even if it only means wiping down counters and washing a few bowls and plates. It'll save a lot of time later on!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Tastes mature, and thank goodness. When you were much younger, you needed to take your coffee with half a cup of milk and lots of sugar. Now you can appreciate the depth and mystery of Italian and French roast.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Tying on an apron isn't fussy -- it's actually pretty smart. Granted, the jeans you wear while you cook aren't your best pair, but you'll have them for a lot longer if you protect them from splashing sauces, olive oil and butter.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Flavor is important, but so is saving money. Consider growing fresh herbs in small containers or windowsill boxes, which cut down on waste and cost. And add fresh herbs at the end of cooking to keep the maximum flavor.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Terminology counts. If you're just learning how to make certain types of candy, it really helps to know the name of certain stages of cooking and what they look like. Getting the right equipment, like a candy thermometer, also helps.
