the book story...

Food, Astrology and relationships, each subject category is successful on its own. Together they make an undeniable combination, unexplored until now. Chef Cosmo allows us into his planetary cucina to bring mischievous insight to our relationship with food and the food in our relationships. The result is a fun, satirical astro-guide and deliciously connected cookbook. A must have for entertaining, understanding your own food habits, and sharing a scrumptious laugh with friends!

The story surrounds our unconventional Leo hostess and eleven of her closest friends (each representing a different Sun Sign) at a weekend celebration of life and its diversity. She has an expert passion for exploring the tastes of living and her Italian culinary accomplice, Chef Cosmo (a robust Taurean from Bologna), has an expert passion for food stirred up with an obsession for astrology.

Chef Cosmo celebrates the Sun Signs’ distinctive oddities and their connection to food and its impact on relationships through his humorous “dish” about each character’s eating habits and their adventures during the getaway weekend.

Each chapter progresses from there to an astro-specific menu and on to the Sun Sign’s extraordinary eating habits (Mangia!), health issues (Salute!) and entertainment tips (Bravo!). Recipes for each sign’s menu are included at the end of its chapter for quick reference.
