Cooking with Astrology (1969)

[ Edit 2 ] I'm still getting recipe requests, so I spent the afternoon taking the best pictures I could of each recipe (which were not really the best, but they're readable) and I made a Tumblr sideblog just for posting them. (I know people think it's dead, but I still use it, so it was the easiest option.) The pinned post has links to the menus for each sign. All the recipes are up!

One of my weird little interests is the astrology boom of the 60s and 70s. I occasionally pick up astrology-related things from this time period, including this cookbook. There's an intro to each sign by both Sydney Omarr (the astrology expert) and Mike Roy (the food expert). Mike writes in a really friendly style that makes me grin. There are a LOT of cold soup recipes, a lot of seafood recipes, and surprisingly few gelatin salads.

Each sign has three menus. I'll be posting the menus in the comments, and if anyone's interested in a particular recipe, I'll post those as well! I've made a few of these recipes in the past.

[ Edit ] wow, this blew up more than I thought it would! Since I have to type out the recipes, it may take a little time, but I'll try to get to all the requested ones.
