ARIES You are exposed to a kind of stress that requires you to get some rest afterwards. You have lots of rede- corating ideas. TAURUS You are put in charge of organizing an event that gathers together most of your friends. You find it easy to unite people around you either at your place or elsewhere. GEMINI Big projects start with a dream. You are truly inspired. You aspire to a better future, as much on a profes- sional level as on a personal one. CANCER You may be overwhelmed with emotions. This situation inspires you to make profound changes and could even encourage you to go on a pilgrimage. LEO You and your loved one must learn to develop some shared objectives in order to forge ahead together. Sometimes taking a step back is necessary in order to see things more clearly. VIRGO You are involved in negotiations that could cause you a lot of stress. One of your suitors could also make you a declaration of love that lea- ves you feeling perplexed. LIBRA Revealing yourself fully is not al- ways easy. But remember, you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs! Sometimes you have to restrain your ego before gaining self-confidence. SCORPIO You are particularly proud of one of your children. He or she might impress you with the simplest of things, perhaps only by taking his or her first steps. You achieve a huge success at work. SAGITTARIUS You may finally decide to put the family home up for sale if your chil- dren have flown the nest. You are soon going to be ready to embark on a new life. CAPRICORN You calculate and recalculate your budget for one reason or another. You may also negotiate a group trip that allows you to experience some great adventures. AQUARIUS Every action causes a reaction. You’re a rather unpredictable per- son sometimes. It would be a good idea to consult loved ones before making any decisions. PISCES You’re an extremely intuitive person, and a dream may very well show you the path to follow if you’re feel- ing a little lost at work or elsewhere.

DIRECTIONS: To make the pancake batter, put the flour in a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Add a little of the milk with the egg and the oil. Beat the flour into the liquid, then gradually beat in the rest of the milk, keeping the batter smooth and free from lumps. Cover the batter and chill while you prepare the filling. Quarter, peel and core the apples. Slice them into a pan and add the blackcurrants and water. Cook over a gentle heat for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is soft. Stir in enough dem- erara sugar to sweeten. Lightly grease a non-stick pan with just a smear of oil. Heat the pan, pour in about 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the batter, swirl it around and cook for about 1 minute. Flip the pancake over with a palette knife and cook the other side. Put on a sheet of kitchen paper and keep hot while cooking the remaining pancakes. Fill the pancakes with the apple and blackcurrant mixture and roll them up. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche, if using, and sprinkle with nuts or sesame seeds, if liked. Recipe and photo: The fat-free cook’s collection, editor LB.
