Food horoscope December
The festive month has arrived, and that means lots and lots of food. Should you really host that dinner at home, or will everything catch fire? And is this the year to invite that estranged uncle again? Our fortune teller specializes in food astrology and will tell you what December has in store for you in the culinary department.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
It may be your birthday month, but after such a heavy dinner you won’t feel quite so festive anymore. You might not even feel like spending a wild night between the sheets with your sweetheart. The solution? Serve oysters with drinks or incorporate saffron into your menu. Instant aphrodisiacs for a spectacular Christmas celebration.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
What we love so much about you, Capricorn, is that you know how to turn every situation into a party. With your attitude, every month is practically a festive month! So don’t make things difficult for yourself this Christmas with multiple elaborately plated courses. Simply put large dishes full of food and bottles of wine on the table, so you don’t have to keep walking back and forth to the kitchen but can be part of the festivities every second.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 19)
You were born in a cold month, so you need extra warmth now. This month, make plenty of soup to warm yourself from the inside out. Or go for my ultimate comfort food: congee. The Chinese rice porridge warms both your body and your soul. It also compensates for all the fat and sugar overload you’ll consume during the holidays.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
Are you spending Christmas without your in-laws? Then spend that extra day happily on Tinder. Who knows, you might meet the love of your life and sit together under the tree next year—and otherwise, you’ll at least have a nice distraction during this Christian holiday.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Admit it, Aries: when the table is full of food, you become incredibly greedy. That last bitterball is definitely yours and, huh, is the mashed potato already gone before you’ve served yourself? It’s high time you read our etiquette for sharing food to prevent arguments at the Christmas table.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
In winter, a cold is always lurking, and the stars are aligned this month in such a way that you’re especially susceptible. Make a big pot of Chinese chicken soup now to prevent yourself from sitting under the Christmas tree with a runny nose.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
With your curious nature, this might be the year to take Christmas dinner in a completely different direction. Why not make a South American Christmas dinner with ceviche and tacos, or an enormous Indonesian rijsttafel?
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Are you insecure about your cooking skills? There’s absolutely no need, Cancer. With a little preparation, you can put a fantastic Christmas dinner on the table. And are you afraid of cooking for a large group? We have the ultimate tips for you.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Are you in charge of dessert this year? These chai crème brûlée tarts by Ottoleghi are a fun project to make and will definitely make a big impression on your fellow diners. The chai spices in the custard and that crisp layer on top are truly a winning combination.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
You’re a hopeless romantic and therefore also love sumptuous, luxurious dishes. Nothing satisfies you more than cutting into a big, rich, runny egg yolk. For that decadent feeling, you can also make this runny egg yolk sauce, so you can recreate that feeling with every dish.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Sometimes it seems as if you have two personalities, Libra. One moment you’re as sweet as can be, while an hour later you completely lose your temper. As if you can’t choose between sweet and savory. Fortunately, you don’t have to with these recipes. Will you serve chips with chocolate or a dessert with foie gras this Christmas?
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
As a Scorpio, you’re a perfect host. You love going all out and being the center of attention. Logically, this year, just like every year, you’ll go for a spectacular roast in the middle of the table. With these do’s and don’ts for a delicious roast, the meat will arrive at the table perfectly medium-rare.
