15 Recipes for Aries Season, from Red Shakshuka to Flank Steak Tacos

“Aries have an adventurous palate,” explains Wright. “Leave it to the excitable ram to turn ordering at a restaurant into an extreme sport. Ruled by Mars—planet of fire, heat and acting on impulse—Aries want their steaks rare, their coffee black and their Bloody Marias extra spicy. Always craving flavor that packs a punch, Aries are willing to try anything but are never impressed with dishes that are too subtle or earthy. Throw it on the barbecue with some hot sauce and get it charred! When in doubt, add more garlic!”

As far as cooking styles go, less is more for this sign. “Aries wants to keep things simple in the kitchen and shudders at the thought of following directions,” Wright says. “Though recipes are boring to Aries, don’t think that means they aren’t wonderful sous chefs. Rams never miss an opportunity to show off their knife skills, flaunting that they know the difference between slicing and dicing. No one else chops an onion with such speed and efficiency and with so few tears. Aries prefer preparing meals with just a few ingredients to keep things easy. But their spice rack is always stocked so they can make even the most basic dish into a flavorful masterpiece.”
