Ricci, a well-known chef and astrologer, has written a book with a novel concept. She believes each star sign is prone to certain physical problems and that eating certain foods will help alleviate those problems. For example, Ricci states that Cancers tend to have digestive trouble, so green tea and buckwheat are recommended. She then presents a series of recipes utilizing these foods. She also offers guidance on how to treat guests based on their star signs.
VERDICT One doesn't necessarily have to agree with Ricci's premise to find this book useful. Her advice on what to eat to help your kidneys or tame your stomach is sound, and the recipes are well crafted and appetizing. For patrons who enjoy their daily horoscopes and are looking for an original approach to their star signs.
