The Garlic Companion: Recipes, Crafts, Preservation Techniques, and Simple Ways To Grow Your Own

Garlic lovers will rejoice at this book from Graves, a fifth-generation garlic farmer in Canada, sharing her expert knowledge about it. In five chapters (“Know and Love,” “Cook and Eat,” “Make and Celebrate,” “Plant and Grow,” “Harvest and Store”), readers will find recipes and crafting ideas, all centered on garlic. They’ll also learn how to plant the pungent allium and preserve their harvests. The first chapter contains a treasure trove of information about garlic, its history, the different varieties, and its culinary and medicinal uses. Included among the delicious recipes are roasted carrots with black garlic glaze, honey-garlic ribs, garlic scape croutons, fresh garlic scape salsa, and garlic confit flatbread pizza; there are even garlic-centric desserts, like black garlic caramel mini cheesecakes and roasted garlic-honey sorbet.
