Liz Primeau is not afraid of garlic breath. As the author of In Pursuit of Garlic: An Intimate Look at the Divinely Odorous Bulb, Liz takes us on a fascinating and detailed journey of this much-loved flavour enhancer. From its uses in medicine, to the garlic trade, to planting, harvesting and of course eating it, garlic is an ingredient steeped in spicy lore, and Liz leaves nothing out, including her recipes for garlic soup, garlic potatoes and even garlic dessert! Lists of the varietals are here, as are the numerous garlic festivals that have cropped up in recent years. This little book focused on one little underground bulb packs as much punch and flavour as the Italian ragu that first introduced Liz to her lifelong affair with garlic.
