If you’re stumped for meal ideas, why not look to the stars?

No, the kind of stars we’re talking about are the ones that make up the constellations.

Specifically, the 12 constellations of the zodiac.

They’re not really the key in to spend all day fussing over a complicated gourmet meal.

What they would much rather have is a dressed-up version of beef stew such as boeuf Bourguignon.

Gemini: Tapas

Gemini is one super-sociable sign.

Bratwursts on the grill

(No, not even the kind that’s all tricked out with truffles and lobster tails.)

It’s tangy lemon sauce is a perfect match for the occasionally tart-tongued Virgo.

Those born under the sign of Libra don’t tend to gravitate to extremes in any direction.

(Pro tip: Never ask a Libra whether they want pizza or Chinese food for dinner.)

Sagittarius: Mie goreng

Sagittarians are the wanderers of the zodiac.

Mie goreng also contains enough chopped chile peppers to just the fire sign Sagittarius.

Capricorn: Steak and kidney pie

Capricorns are the Vulcans of the zodiac.

They are highly intelligent, but far more likely to be led by logic than emotion.

For Capricorn, what better dish than theclassic British steak and kidney pie?

Coquilles St. Jacques scallop shells

Aquarius: Eggplant Parmesan

Aquarians are the most progressive of the signs.

So what do Aquarians live on, there in the future?

Potatoes grown on Mars?

Roasted lamb with rice

More like pretty much anything.

While Aquarians may not have invented molecular gastronomy, they were probably among the first to embrace it.

Pisces: Shrimp scampi

The last sign of the zodiac is dreamy, slightly secretive Pisces.

What should you feed them when they do?

Pisces are all about subtle, delicate flavors.

For a perfectly Piscean sweet ending, serve ice cream-filled profiteroles with a drizzle of semisweet chocolate sauce.
