With the Olympic games now underway, let’s allow the stars take their important place at the table. To show solidarity, here is a culinary suggestion for every sign, based on the country that best expresses your essence through its food. Have fun cooking some of the dishes or using certain ingredients of the region. In other words, cook up delicious bliss and win some medals -- or at least plenty of accolades from your friends and family!

ARIES: United Kingdom

Aries loves meat. Roast beef served with some vegetables is the perfect hearty dish for someone like you. It is also appropriate, as the first sign of the zodiac, that you get to be represented by the host country this year.

TAURUS: Switzerland

A Taurus stands for supporting that which is sensual and voluptuous. This is the perfect description for Swiss dark chocolate; eat the darkest possible so you can get the most intense flavor.

GEMINI: Iceland

Because you can be sophisticated without actually being snobby, Gemini, a simple grilled or smoked salmon will be the perfect meal to celebrate this year's games.

CANCER: United States

Dried apples, apricots, raisins or cranberries are just like you, Cancer: a bundle of energy that together can keep you going for a long time. Add them to a sweet baked dish or a salad.

LEO: Italy

Aggressive and passionate, a Leo needs to pause once in a while to recharge their batteries. A pasta dish with lots of chopped fresh mint and basil should help you kick back and relax.

VIRGO: Greece

Lucid and rational, but with a very gracious soul, Virgos enjoy Greek frozen yogurt. Just like Greek yogurt, you seem to be all cool and unassuming, but in reality you are as sweet as the best dessert!

LIBRA: China

Two souls in balance, the "tasty" personality of a Libra is full of flavors and interesting contrasts. A sweet-and-sour sauce for a pork or chicken dish works perfectly to inspire your team.

SCORPIO: France

You are complex and at times difficult, Scorpio. Whoever loves you, loves you with shear madness. And those who do not, well, they just don’t. A strong French blue cheese can sum up this principle: Only those with exquisite taste can appreciate the magic.

SAGITTARIUS: Spain

A simple seafood dish -- perhaps calamari or fried octopus -- may help you gather all the energy you need for a total win. Like an octopus, Sagittarius is complex and ever adaptable; traditional and yet rebellious!

CAPRICORN: Mexico

You make everyone mouth-watery with love, Capricorn. But like a complex Mexican mole, which can be sweet but hot, people need to know that a little bit of spice can also burn a mouth! Mellow your mole by serving it over chicken.

AQUARIUS: Russia

Intense and deep, Aquarius loves elegance and creativity. The combination of fine caviar and champagne will fire you up and make you feel sophisticated -- without a lot of guilt.

PISCES: Egypt

Satisfying and light, couscous is also unusual in its texture and uses. Create flavors with unending originality or keep it simple. Just like you, Pisces, the secret of the dish is in its versatility!
