ISBN: 9781250002136 Lobster for Leos, Cookies for Capricorns 1 Aries March 21 - April 19 BRAINIAC FOODS All these foods have been carefully selected for Aries, as this sign rules the brain. Aries is the baby of the zodiac, and like any baby, soaks up information like a sponge because of their innate curiosity. They are like the Energizer bunny, constantly on the go. Anytime you need to jump-start a project, Aries is your go-to person.Symbol: RamRuling Planet: MarsBody Part Ruled: BrainHouse Ruled: First, the house of the personality, physical appearance, how others see youElement: FireColor: RedStone: DiamondKey Phrase: I amTrait: CourageQuality: Cardinal A ries being the first sign of the zodiac makes them the most childlike, outgoing, and playful. Some of the best foods for them are the ones that will keep their sassy behavior in line so their creativity can shine. Aries leads the way for all other signs. Just as the brain has dominion over all other body parts, Aries wants to exert that same dominion over the other signs and can stamp their feet like a petulant child when no one else will pay attention or listen to them.

Aries have great pioneering skills and love all the newest gadgets available for the home kitchen. They just need to allow time to read all the directions and become familiar with the capabilities prior to embarking on that special sit-down dinner for their twenty closest friends.Aries have great creativity and can plan the most successful soiree, but it may take a French brigade to accomplish the finished product. It's good for the Aries "chef" to have a "sous-chef" if possible, as they can easily be distracted when they have too much going on at one time. With the help of someone possessing good organizational skills to do prep work, clean-up, and put all equipment back in place, the Aries will be at their best. Or since Aries are great at starting up projects and leading others, they can create the menu, direct the cooking process, and take the credit for the finished product. But the serious Aries home chef can still aspire to acquiring some of the skills of professional Aries chefs, such as Cat Cora and Ming Tsai.As a hostess/host, Aries will serve meals with a hint of the exotic, reminiscent of the faraway lands of their childhood storybooks. And they love spice! But not to worry, it won't take off the top of your head, it will be just enough to grab your attention. While Aries can be little rebels, it's all for show as a means
