This is a delightful introduction to a classic and indispensable ingredient, with 30 tempting recipes. It is a celebration of garlic's history, versatility, its inimitable taste and its therapeutic properties. It includes garlic recipes from around the world, such as Shallot and Garlic Tarte Tatin, Thai Green Curry, Roasted Garlic Dhal, Gazpacho, Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic, and many more. A concise introduction gives information on growing and cooking with garlic, and its medicinal uses.

There are lively appetizers and light lunches such as Roasted Garlic with Goat's Cheese and Walnut Herb Pate, and Plaice Goujons with Garlic Mayonnaise.
