Welcome to the new year, Capricorn. Congratulations on surviving 2016 and making it till here. Your disciplined & determined self has led you into 2017 unscathed, and it’s time to celebrate. Enter DSSC: While it only makes sense that a new year begins with the planners of the zodiac, a little help goes a long way! As you lay out the strategies for the year, we help you realise your food destiny of the month, #DSSCFoodHoroscope is here to tell you what the dance of the planets has in store for your aventures culinaires in January.
The Personal
Your planets are camping in the Eastern sector of your horoscope this month, bringing you a fine balance of a strong sense of self & thriving personal relationships. While being fiercely independent yet anchored to our loved ones is a coveted life balance, your Saturn retrograde is here to create mischief; you brim with confidence and mental & physical health to achieve this balance, but struggle in knowing how to channel it just right. Let it not trick you, go slow & steady and all shall be well!
The Professional
Cleverly sidestepping the retrograde, your career prospects are full of promises. Let the tactician in you shine bright and take charge of your professional plans of the year. You may be tempted to be practical and power through to your goals, but as this doesn’t always work out well for you in the long run, take a breather and see how your goals will impact you emotionally before embarking on them. Power dressing & style come to you naturally, so your colleagues better be prepped to be swayed by that charm.
What To Eat
You’re the loyal tribe who loves to stick to the regulars, but this new year strike a chord with your ambitious inner self as you whip up these not-run-of-the-mill dishes. With the foggy nights chilling us to our bones, meat is here to save the day. Fret not, we side-stepped the cannibalism scare and aren’t suggesting you nosh down goat meat, what we do have for you is an ace appetiser known as Kalmi Kebabs & Saffron Risotto with Bacon as your main of the month. If true to your sun sign you only munch on the greens, bridging the veg/non-veg divide a vegetarian BBQ is your flavour of the month. We know you won’t get enough of these dishes, but when it’s time to end the cold days, do it with a hot dessert, and none does it better than our chilli pepper desserts.
What To Drink
As much as you like to dwell on the past while nursing that drink, it’s time to shake things up. Ring in the New Year with cocktails, and as this month is all about pushing boundaries & growth for you, a change is well in order. Pour yourself these smash-fest assured winter cocktails and you’re sorted – whether to drown away the sorrows or to say hallelujah (highly recommend the latter).

Where To Go
Your reclusive self is taking a detour this month and is ready to bond better with close ones. What better than a warm & spirited Italian meal to tighten the ties. We suggest a brunch or dinner at the Italian bigwig in the capital, Sorrento at Shangri La – Eros Hotel. Their hearty soups will keep you warm and the Sous Vide Chicken & Parmesan Stuffed Ravioli will have you be a happy bunch. If Mount Vesuvius is your perfect finish to that stellar meal, you may get to say hello to us as we’ll be the ones twinning desserts across the hall.
Love, luck, joy, all seem to be smiling upon you this January, so let that goat climb the mountain without looking back!
