Garlic Garlic Garlic
By Linda and Fred Griffith ................................................

Featuring Filaree Garlic Farm!

When Fred and Linda Griffith, the James Beard award winning authors of Onions, Onions, Onions, decided to research and write about a new subject, they didn't sit at home and read what others have written. They launched themselves into a cross country adventure, meeting and eating with garlic growers, processors, restaurant owners and world class chefs, food connoisseurs and purveyors from Boston to New Orleans to Gilroy, California. You'll meet many of these memorable characters in vignettes interspersed throughout the book.

With the wealth of information they gleaned through conversations and candle lit dinners, and their own testing and tasting, they have created the most complete Garlic cookbook to date. It begins with a section, Garlic in the Kitchen, complete with tips on preparing garlic for cooking and descriptions of many of the most popular garlic strains. They continue with over 200 recipes, from appetizers to desserts, all worthy of 5 star restaurant status.
