{"product_id":"9781912031634","title":"The Zodiac Cooks: Recipes from the Celestial Kitchen of Life","description":"More than ten years in the making, The Zodiac Cooks takes you on a gastronomic journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac. Along the way, you’ll discover why\u003cbr\u003eAries spends a fortune on knives; why feeding the mind is more vital to Gemini than three square meals a day, and what happened when an employee stole a basketful of recipes from her Taurus employer to open her own business.\u003cbr\u003eAnd you’ll be able to put together star dishes for your friends and family.\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the ancient doctrine of correspondences, Penny Thornton has assembled\u003cbr\u003e130 recipes based on foods associated with each sign. There are guides to tabledecoration,\u003cbr\u003ekitchen styles and which foods complement your sign and which do not.\u003cbr\u003eTo Medieval astrologers and alchemists – the scientists of their day – all things in the universe were connected and everything that lived and breathed resonated with a particular planet or sign. It was to these tables of correspondences that Penny\u003cbr\u003eThornton referred in her pursuit to bring astrology into the modern-day kitchen.\u003cbr\u003eStarting with Aries and ending with Pisces you’ll find tailor-made recipes for each sun sign. Duck breast with prunes and chocolate? That’s a dish to set before a Scorpio.\u003cbr\u003eLiquorice ice-cream? Perfect for anise-loving Geminians and Virgoans. You’ll learn a few of their secrets, too: Why do Cancerians have a fondness for nursery foods? Why is tradition so important for a Capricorn? And is there a reason why dinner is never on time in a Pisces household?\u003cbr\u003eIt’s all to do with the stars.","brand":"GB Publishing.org","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137253720304,"sku":"9781912031634","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781912031634_p0.jpg?v=1763630758","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781912031634","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
