This is a love letter to garlic! If you love garlic, want to learn more about garlic, and are looking for great new recipes, this is the cookbook for you. A lot of passion is poured into this book and it's a gem for your kitchen!
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for access to this ARC.

I love garlic! I will throw it in anything and everything. I love how well thought out this book is and it is stunning with the pictures. I’ve already tried one of the recipes and let me tell you, delicious! Can’t wait to have this book in my arsenal to take ,y garlic to the next level and experiment with different kinds of garlic.

I love garlic and feel any recipe is immediately made better with garlic, looking forward to trying so many of these recipes.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.

A lot of information about garlic. Not only recipes, but also stuff about history, different types, how to grow and harvest, and how to decorate for a garlic function you might want to have. The photography is high quality and the food looks delicious. The recipes are really unique and things I wouldn't have thought of before. I'm definitely going to try some.

What a beautiful book! Even if you aren't a garlic lover there is much to appreciate about this text. The photos are beautifully arranged and the information is complete and well researched.

There are quite a few diverse recipes and the beef with broccoli is in my dinner menu for the evening. I learned to much about garlic that I had no idea there was so much to know! Well done.

Loved this book, if you love garlic, I highly recommend, not only does it have fun facts and history of garlic, but the recipes!!! I was super excited to see it included recipes using Garlic Scapes! I'm all about the recipes. But for others there is a good layout on how to grow your own garlic and how to harvest it, along with garlic crafts/decor!

5 ⭐️
What a gem! This book has the most beautiful imagery, and the passion of these 5th generation farmers truly shines through every page.

“The cultivation of heirloom varieties connected me to the knowledge that I am part of something so much bigger than myself”

I was drawn to this book not only for my love of garlic, but because of the healing qualities that have been helping me in my health journey, which enticed me to learn more about varieties, growing and preparation. But this book is way more - it’s an experience. Fascinating trivia, creative recipes, and crafts that make you want to embrace your inner Garlic Goddess!

I can’t wait to try some of the recipes, they seriously have me drooling. Many of the recipes I never would have thought of, especially the black garlic recipes, like cookies and cornbread.

I never knew I wanted to host a garlic themed harvest party, until now! The visual photos with amazing harvest decor had me wanting to step right through the book and pull up a seat to take it all in. The ideas, down to the tablescape, floral arrangements and butter board (move over, charcuterie!) have me feeling like I’ve undervalued garlic for so long 😭

This book is a MUST for anyone that is obsessed with garlic and wants to embrace their inner garlic goddess. Me, being a Hippie Soul at heart, love gardening, flowers, and anything nature. I also love crafts and DIY, and this book offers some great tutorials on making garlic braids, garlic crowns, and even harvest wreaths.

What this book does best, is go into detail on when, where, how to plant, nourish, harvest, cure, prepare, preserve and store garlic. And I one is a better teacher than 5th generation garlic farmers.

What this book does not do, is go deep into all the healing properties this ancient food has. It touches on the nutrients and a few things it’s known for, but not in depth. So if that’s what you are looking for, I suggest additional reference material.

Overall, I didn’t realize I was in for such a treat with this book! This truly is a companion book, one that I will refer to often as I experiment with growing garlic for myself, as well as for the mouth-watering recipes. And I wish all of my recipe books came with gardening tips and crafts! Or that all my gardening books came with recipes and crafts…

I could honestly never be a vampire. It would be miserable because I genuinely need garlic to live, no questions about it.
That being said, of course I will love this helpful garlic handbook! There are so many helpful tips, tricks, and recipes within the 224 pages. You’ll learn how to distinguish one type of garlic from another and how to grow your own garlic, all while presenting this information in an incredibly pleasing format.
I’ll absolutely be buying this guide!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I grew up about 30 minutes away from Gilroy, CA (also known as the garlic capital), and I love garlic! I was excited to find this book. There is so much info about garlic, which I know very little about. The recipes are written in a way that makes them very easy to follow. If you’re a garlic lover or know a garlic lover I highly recommend this book.


Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc.

I don’t review cookbooks very often as I’m not much of a cook but every once and awhile one comes along that just grabs my attention. This was one of those times. As someone who LOVES garlic I am always looking for creative ways to prepare it or work in into dishes. This book gives amazing descriptions of so many different types of garlic as well as tips on how to grow and store or preserve it. There are recipes for cooking garlic on its own, garlic-forward recipes (including things I never would have thought to try- like shortbread cookies?!), and different crafts to display garlic in and around your home. All showcased with gorgeous photography. This is absolutely a must have for anyone to add to their collection.
