Shunned for centuries even in France ' +
'and Italy because of its strong flavor and odor, garlic was considered a low-class seasoning, ' +
'only winning wide acceptance in cooking outside working-class kitchens after World War II. ' +
'Garlic, Garlic, Garlic provides detailed guidance for buying, storing, and preparing garlic, ' +
'and explains the pros and cons of using a garlic press. There are also 200-plus recipes, ' +
'many for ethnic dishes rich in garlic. There is Brandade, the creamy French dish made with ' +
'salt cod, and Spanish Sopa de Ajo, a pungent peasant soup of garlic, bread, and oil with ' +
'poached eggs. Even cozy macaroni and cheese is punctuated with three pressed, plump cloves ' +
'of garlic. Dessert is not forgotten- -how about ice cream topped with golden, caramelized ' +
'Honey-Poached Garlic Sauce for something really different? While only experienced cooks may ' +
'want to attempt dishes like Veal Brisket Roasted with Garlic, Onions, and Plums, any garlic ' +
'lover with modest skills can whip up the Special Marinara Sauce or grill the Flank Steak ' +
'with Balsamic Vinegar Marinade.
