G is for garlic breath

Mr M and I use garlic in pretty much every savoury dish that we make. And on the odd occasion when we don't use it, we find ourselves double checking that we haven't made a mistake because surely one can't cook a meal without garlic. "Is that what the recipe says? Yup. Hmm - I'm not sure. Check it again..."

Yesterday at Perch Hill, the bustling chef brought in a little appetiser for us all as we sat in class - a single chicory leaf with a spoonful of pureed beetroot, garlic, walnuts and bread crumbs. It was heaven. And seriously garlicky. And for the first time, in a very long time, I was conscious of having honky breath but, do you know what, it was worth it!

  1. I love the garlic. Even when garlic isn't called for you've got to chuck it in. It makes everything better!

  3. I love garlic too. And I do put it in every dish that I cook. Guess it must be the French in me, but I've managed to get Boyfriend to love it too!
