The magic of garlic, for cooking and healing, has been known since the dawn of civilisation. Garlic: The Mighty Bulb is a comprehensive guide to using garlic at home, not just a staple when cooking but in a variety of ways. There's advice on growing your own (the best varieties for health) and how to cultivate and store the plant to maintain its healing properties. Author Natasha Edwards also demonstrates how to dry and plait garlic into traditional grappes, how to make up decongestants and boost the immune system. Plus a collection of 50 simple and varied recipes, from classic dishes such as aïoli and chicken with 40 cloves of garlic to salad dressings and immune boosting winter soups.

'This delightfully presented book contains a fascinating store of facts, health remedies and delicious recipes. Garlic, as Natasha tells us, has been regarded as medically beneficial since the dawn of time and I for one will certainly be drinking her garlic tea in the cold months ahead, along with various other of her remedies. The main glory of this book however is of course the recipes culled from all over the world and the far flung places where garlic grows. Natasha's mother Jenny is a formidable cook and her daughter has clearly inherited this talent. The recipes are well and clearly written and, more importantly, they not only work but the end result is delicious. This book is an important addition to any cookery collection and an excellent tool for every keen cook. I recommend it to you.' From the Foreword by Clarissa Dickson Wright

'Natasha Edwards shares her knowledge of the medicinal and culinary elements of garlic that she gleaned from years growing up on a garlic farm. . .
