Whether it’s mashed, whipped, or sliced, nothing says practical like potatoes (holla at my Irish peeps). This is a vegetable that will support you (and your meal) till the very end just like the lovable Taurus. Plus, waiting for that steak to reach it’s perfect temperature is no big deal for the naturally patient Taurus.

Only the ultimate comfort food can represent the traditional and dependable Cancer. Biscuits and gravy will stir up those memories of cozy family dinners that a sentimental Cancer cherishes. So bring on the carb loaded lovin’.

Leo – Ambrosia Salad

Hello, flashback to childhood. Nothing says confidence like a mish mash of sweet, fluffy ingredients (looking at you, mini marshmallows). Anyone can experience that Leo energy thanks to the resulting sugar rush. And just like a devoted Leo, an ambrosia salad will be loyal to your taste buds till the very end.

Virgo – Macarons

(August 21 – September 23)

The French know their stuff when it comes to adorable confections. These pastel-colored sweets will charm the pants off you just like any Virgo would. Not to be confused with macaroons, macarons are a pastry shop staple and easily liven up any party like a Virgo.

Sweet and shy like the balanced Libra, this Japanese snack hides a surprise inside a soft outer shell. Kind of like a Libra and their friends, it’s impossible to have just one. This is a zodiac sign that prizes companionship.

Scorpio – Red Curry

Scorpios tend to be quite secretive on the surface. But, in reality, underneath all that stoicism is a passionate soul. Spicy and bold, red curry embodies that Scorpio intensity. All that personality can’t be without some sweetness, of course. This savory Thai dish has you covered with loads of delicious coconut milk.

Sagittarius – Cream Puffs

(November 23 – December 22)

Mmmm yaaaaaas more French goodness. I’m not just talking about just one or two regular cream puffs. I’m talking about a BUCKET of cream puffs because you, Sagittarius, are larger-than-life. Carefree like a light and happy cream puff, you are the true optimists. Better yet, dip those cream puffs in chocolate; because who doesn’t love chocolate?

Capricorn – Sashimi

(December 23 – December 22)

Capricorns are systematic and resourceful individuals. Not only does it use the best parts of the seafood, Sashimi is meticulously arranged in an appealing manner (bring on the “oooh’s and ahhh’s). This dish is traditionally regarded as the finest dish in Japanese cuisine. Stay classy, Capricorn.

Aquarius – Bubble Tea

(January 21 – February 19)

This colorful Taiwanese drink is the epitome of an Aquarius. Not only are you guys clever, you are the innovators. Invented in the 1980s, there are now hundreds of variations and hybridizations on bubble tea. Don’t be surprised if most of these came from the imagination of an Aquarius. Keep dreaming up the next big thing, Aquarians–it’s tasty.
