We’re right in the middle of Gemini season, the best time of the year. From May 21 to June 21 we get to celebrate the sign of the twins, AKA the best sign. As a Gemini who loves food, I’m using this season as an excuse to try some creative and delicious new recipes. Geminis are proven to be skilled chefs, counting Jacques Torres, Jamie Oliver, and Masaharu Morimoto (whose sushi competition show is about to come out on Roku) among our ranks. Gemini, an air sign, is associated with variety, adaptability, indulgence, creativity, and duality. Here’s eight fun recipes highlighting these qualities to try out this Gemini season.
Double Chocolate Banana Bread
This double chocolate banana bread is perfect for Gemini season! You can go wild with the mix-ins, allowing for versatility and creative expression. Also, I can’t think of a more comforting food than banana bread, and the double chocolate adds indulgence and duality.
Two Ingredient Homemade Pasta
This easy two ingredient homemade pasta is ideal for Geminis. It’s super versatile and creative because you can add whatever sauce and topping combos you would like. It’s comforting and indulgent, because it’s pasta, duh. And it uses only two ingredients, perfect for the sign of the twins.
