Features: Did you know that the common white garlic you can easily buy in the market is just one of the thousands of varieties of garlic in the world? In the wine region of northern California, on a small farm surrounded by vineyards, owner Chester Allen spent nearly a decade cultivating garlic, including deep red Spanish Rojo, delicious German Extra Mild, pale rose-colored Chesnok, and other 52 extraordinary varieties. His passion for garlic attracted chefs from all over the USA. From this book, based on Allen's personal experience, you will learn the history of garlic, a plant that appeared in the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun 6,000 years ago, discover how to identify the flavors of different garlic varieties, and learn how to grow garlic on your own balcony. Of course, there are also recipes for various fascinating dishes (including desserts) made with garlic, such as the famous multi-flavored garlic chicken from San Francisco's Rosemary Restaurant. Without a doubt, this is a must-read garlic bible for garlic enthusiasts.
