Scrumptious cookbook, May 17 2011
This review is from: The Complete Garlic Lovers' Cookbook (Hardcover)
This book is filled with such a wide variety of recipes that I felt I was walking through a garden of delights. Some of my favorite foods include fish, seafood, chicken and eggplant and there were so many recipes covering all of those, Greek ones, Italian ones and a plethoria of others. One of my all time favorites was included,stuffed squid and of course there were a variety of garlic bread recipes including "Gourmet Alley Garlic Bread". It is a remarkable book and I am so grateful I was able to find it. Thank you Amazon.

Roasted Garlic Soup, Dec 6 2003
This review is from: The Complete Garlic Lovers' Cookbook (Hardcover)
The reviewer who threw the book out made an error by saying that there was only 1 1/2 cups of liquid: the recipes calls for 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk AND 1/2 cup of cream. Also, it says to add some more buttermilk IF the soup is too thick. Given that this is a very rich soup, it would indeed be appropriate to serve 4 with a half cup for each person.
Aside from this correction, I would like to add that I have made several things from this book and am satisfied that it is well worth acquiring for any garlic (and food!) lover.

The ultimate garlic cookbook from the ultimate garlic fest, May 9 2001
This review is from: The Complete Garlic Lovers' Cookbook (Hardcover)
Every summer, the Gilroy Garlic Festival, in Gilroy, California, draws more than 150,000 visitors who watch chefs do their cooking magic over outdoor firepits. Clubs and civic groups cook an immense array of garlic dishes from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, China, Japan, Korea, India, Greece and the Philippine Islands.
The best of these recipes were gathered together and published. The result was this book. Mmmmm, garlic.
Excuse me.
I have to go and make scampi in butter sauce, now (one tablespoon of finely minced garlic in the butter sauce, plus a lot of other stuff that isn't garlic.)
It's a Festival favorite.
