Before Revealing the secrets of 36 of their garlic dishes, The book starts by explaining to you in layman's terms, information on how to purchase, store and prepare garlic. The author has a great sense of humor, while still managing to remain informative and on topic. The interior of the book has many illustrations that are often drop dead hysterical, which makes this a really fun book that everyone can enjoy. The cooking instructions are fairly easy and simple; the dishes prepared at home often do not taste the same as the dishes you'd find at the restaurant. I usually end up eating at the restaurant instead, and this book becomes a valuable companion to me when I eat there. Generally speaking, this book is really worth your money; you just can't go wrong. Well, at the very least, You'd get a good laugh out of it, and have yourself a pretty good talk piece! Midwest Book Review Unlike other garlic cookbooks, this packs in the colorful illustrations and zany references to garlic cookery, using San Francisco's 'Stinking Rose' restaurant as a highlight for camp and color. This is loaded with specialty garlic recipes, but also a high degree of visual and cultural support for garlic cookery. |
