An Austrian-based chef has launched a new recipe series, setting out to tailor flavours and textures to the twelve signs of the zodiac.
Drawing on the world of astrology, Chef Cândida Batista has examined the characteristics of each sign to develop a recipe that she says will resonate with its essense.
“Exploring the intersection of astrology and gastronomy allows us to infuse a touch of magic into every meal, crafting dishes that not only tantalize the taste buds but also evoke a sense of cosmic connection and harmony,” Batista says.
“Astrology has long captivated humanity with its mystical allure, and through gastronomy, we have the unique opportunity to translate celestial energies into culinary delights that resonate with each zodiac sign’s essence.”
