I find garlic very addicting. When I eat a little, I want more! Unfortunately (for people around me), I prefer to eat raw garlic. Garlic is an herb that adds delicious flavor to so many foods, and it's also good for you. I've added quite a few recipes to this lens, along with links about garlic. I have also included links to books with garlic recipes. Enjoy!
