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