A celebration of garlic from festivals to folklore plus a stunning collection of more than 65 delicious recipes from around the world.

Although garlic is neither an herb or a spice it has been used to enhance food as far back as when the pyramids at Giza were built. This unassuming bulb (from the same family as onions and leeks) packs a powerful punch and is an essential element to recipes from around the world.

Chefs and home cooks use it to enhance and intensify other ingredients or even as the signature element of a dish. Its taste varies in depth and aroma depending on the way it is cooked - it can be used raw for an intense level of heat that leaves a lasting impression, or baked to a soft velvety texture giving a milder taste.
