Garlic making comeback

Apparently, garlic is making a comeback. I never realized that it is not in vogue. Liz Primeau, Mississauga based author of In Pursuit of Garlic: An Intimate Look at the Divinely Odorous Bulb has explored the bulb in her book.
She looks at how to grow the bulb which is very easy, cook-fun and tasty and love garlic. What is not to love unless you are heading out in a crowd that has not consumed garlic. It was the fall of the Berlin Wall that brought garlic back to the forefront of culinary experiences. People could get garlic from the east. Not sure why they weren't able to get it otherwise. That must be another story.
The article about garlic and her book gives 10 fun facts about garlic and the most fun is that it has antioxidant powers. Most important.
Enjoy Primeau's book and more important garlic.
