Did you know that there are people on earth who do not love garlic? If you are one of those people, or frequently cook for one of those people, we'd like to invite you to check out some of our favorite garlic recipes.

We love the sharpness of raw garlic, the savoriness of toasted garlic, the sweetness of roasted garlic. Yes, hello, we love garlic. If you've ever struggled with the process of peeling garlic, you absolutely must watch this video: you will become a zen master of peeling a whole head of garlic in under 10 seconds. Do you get tired of mincing garlic over and over? Try our other favorite garlic trick: microplaning it into submission.

There are very few recipes we don't add a bit of garlic to: it is frequently a staple in our soups, sautés and roasts. Garlic is a perfect and willing second fiddle to a million other flavors. Sometimes, we like to highlight garlic and remind ourselves of why we love it so much. And that's exactly what we're going to do today.
