Your star sign as a Christmas recipe

If you’ve been scratching your head and searching for Christmas dinner ideas that will really hit the spot for 2017, then rest that busy little mind of yours.

Your zodiac character traits have determined which recipe would be best for you, so you don’t even have to think about it, just get your shopping list and write down what you’ll need. Trust us (and the stars), you’ll enjoy it.

ARIES

Aries want to be eating something quick and easy and hot and spicy, ideally something rich in protein.

They’ve got no time for cooking because they’ve got activities to organise and people to agure with.

Spice up dinner time with this beef rib roast, served with spiced salt and luscious garlic mayonnaise on the side.

CAPRICORN

Caps work hard and dine harder. They’re probably the one slaving away in the kitchen and insisting everyone else just relaxes.

Capricorn’s have a soft spot for all things salty, which means this Spanish style leg of lamb would be perfect for them.

It combines salty chorizo, garlic and thyme to create a memorable Christmas dish.

TAURUS

Taureans are all for a full flavour sensation and are easily the biggest foodies of the zoadiac.

Case in point: Jamie Oliver and Heston Blumenthal are both Taureans.

This deliciously tender rabbit and hazelnut terrine is the ultimate accompaniment to a Taurean Christmas spread. Either as a starter, or the main.

GEMINI

Gemini, you beautiful soul.

Of all the zodiac, Geminis are the least interested in food preferring more the experience of dining and the company they dine with.

However, they are also the most likely to try something bold and new in the kitchen.

Geminis will love this Great Australian Christmas pudding recipe, similar to the English pudding in spice and flavour, but instead it’s light, creamy and cool to suit our hot climate.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarians make the perfect Christmas dinner guests. They’re positive, full of energy and born travellers. It’s no surprise they love something a little more exotic on the table.

This Vitello Tonnato recipe is a well-known Italian veal dish accompanied with a tuna mayonnaise. It is usually served cold, making the perfect appetiser for a Christmas lunch and the perfect dish to please a Sagittarian.

AQUARIUS

Aquarians are the thoughtful philosophers of the zodiac, so if they’re the one’s cooking you Christmas dinner there’s a good chance you’ll be eating very, very late.

Aquarians hate following recipes and are not huge fans of cooking, which makes a classic roast chicken and gravy recipe perfect for them. It’s Christmas dish that never fails to please and is very basic, so recipe will not really need.

CANCER

If Taureans are the chefs of the zodiac, Cancer are the cooks.

They have an enormous appetite and love to cook something with a story behind it, for example, a recipe for stuffing from great, great grandmother Julie that survived a war and flood.

Because that’s a little difficult to get your hands on, try our divine pavlova recipe served with berries and cream. It’s a recipe that not only has a great story but is also the perfect light dessert for a star sign that’s known for over eating.

LEO

Luxury is a Leo’s middle name.

All food prepared for them should be made from only the absolute best ingredients, nothing less will hit the spot.

Nothing scream luxury like opting for a seafood menu this Christmas, try our roast salmon with fennel and apple salad recipe.

VIRGO

Poor little Virgo.

Christmas can be tough for a sign with such a sensitive digestive system.

Known for being thrifty, a great dish on the Christmas table is going to be one where the leftovers can be used again and again.

Try our ginger marmalade glazed ham recipe this Christmas. It’s packed full of flavour and will last you for several days.

LIBRA

All about balance, Librans need as much emphasis put on what their food look like as they do what it tastes like. They won’t be happy unless they’ve impressed.

For something super elaborate, try this classic orange pudding with rum sauce recipe is perfect for pleasing the masses this Christmas.

PISCES

To you Christmas is first and foremost about family and you don’t mind the odd tipple.

Both selfless and spiritual, the food is simply the cherry on the cake of a perfect day to this sign.

Feed a water sign with fish, this baked snapper recipe with peppercorn and dill butter to be precises. Sure to be a big hit this Christmas!
