What do your astrological
sign and
food
have in common? Isn’t that what you thought? However, our inherent curiosity
about the future and our taste for well cooked food; or rather the relationship
between these two apparently disparate things is the beauty of this cookbook. Not
only does the author describe the characteristics of persons
born under a
certain
sun sign and predict what sort of occupations they are ideally suited
to, she also details certain food items that they would enjoy and provides us
with the recipes. We are also told how we can best entertain our friends who
have different sun signs from us. For example, an Arian person would have
unlimited amounts of energy, and food for them is like fuel which they need to
keep going and gain strength. Because of this,
people with a sun sign of Aries
are always on the move and in a hurry and this is why they prefer breakfast or
snack foods to eat on the go. The author has suggested a kebab and a
traditional rice recipe for them. Taurean people are very fond of
eating and
entertaining. They have a long standing relationship with food and are usually
fond of recipes cooked ‘just like mother used to make it’. Due to this love
affair with food, however, they often end up eating too much and thus have a
tendency towards obesity. Thus, they have been advised to
eat less oily and
more fibrous foods. The author has recommended peas and mint soup, pasta and
apple pie etc for them. Librans on the other hand usually have a more balanced
approach to life. This is reflected in their choice of food as well. Ruled by
Venus, people born under this sun sign need their food to look good as well as
taste good. Therefore, to have a Libran friend over to dinner, one must keep
this in mind, as well as being open hearted and social. One has to keep in mind
that Librans look for affection and fellow feeling in everyone. The author has
suggested a delicate violet cordial cake for them.
Although it is not within the scope of this
summary to describe every astrological sign in detail, it may be mentioned that
people born under the sign of Scorpio are very passionate and this is reflected
in their eating habits. Sagittarians are optimistic people and they bring in
this attitude to food as well. Capricorn people are earthy with a definite
personality which is brought forward in their eating habits as well. Aquarians
are not at all traditional and they are very open to new cuisines and
experimentation as well. They would not hesitate to eat sandwiches with pickle!
Pisceans are dreamers, whilst Virgo people are very careful about weighing the
pros and cons of everything they do and eat. Leos, living up to their names,
love to eat richly and well, like kings. Gemini people are twitchy and not at
all tranquil. They eat in a hurry without really waiting, whilst Cancerians are
thoughtful and caring, and even while eating they are more likely to be taking
care of the other diners rather than eating themselves.
