Aries (March 21 - April 19) Patronize someone whose devotion to food is creative and heartfelt. That cheese shop that goes out of its way to serve the freshest products, or the vegetable seller at the farmer's market who won't sell an inferior beet -- they deserve your business.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Teach the young ones in your life how tasty fresh food can taste by helping them to grow container tomatoes, start an herb garden or pull fruit from the trees in the yard. Good eating habits are best started early.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Season the classics so they're more to your liking. Coleslaw doesn't have to have a mayonnaise-based dressing. Sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, salt and lots of fresh ginger (powdered if fresh isn't available) make a great-tasting vinaigrette.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Is your palate jaded from too many tastes and experiences? Go back to basics so you can appreciate the wonder of the natural world. Fast for half a day, then have a glass of absolutely fresh juice, or eat fresh-baked bread thinly spread with butter.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) If there's one thing you love, it's turning leftovers into something new and delicious. A bunch of arugula, last night's grilled chicken, walnuts, dried currants and a homemade vinaigrette combine to make a delicious and nutritious lunch!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Ask an expert for advice. Serving a dinner to some fancy types? Talk to the staff at your local cheese store about what to serve beforehand. Grill the fishmonger about how to bring out the flavors of that fresh piece of salmon.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Find yourself throwing out more food than you'd like at the end of each week? One good tip is to make a list before you go food shopping -- that tends to keep you from overbuying or making any impulse purchases.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) 'You are what you eat' is a cliche, but there's also a lot of truth in it. People who eat a diet based on processed and fast foods tend to have more health problems like diabetes and obesity. Be mindful of what you consume.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Something that strikes you as a good idea right now might not seem so smart in a few hours. So that impulse to buy a pound of ribs and eat the whole thing -- sit on it for a while and see if you can work with it instead of giving in right away.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You're of two minds: part of you wants to eat fast food and the heck with nutritional warnings. The other part of you is mindful of how your health is greatly influenced by what you eat. Can you split the difference and eat a salad, but get small fries later?
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Two tastes that taste amazing together? Avocado and radishes. Fortunately, this is the peak of radish season. So slice the two vegetables up and put them on a slice of your favorite toasted bread.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) A new restaurant is all the buzz, and thanks to your connections, you might just be able to score a last-minute reservation. Play it cool -- let it be known your interested, but don't press so hard that the bestower of this gift gets spooked.
