No writer has quite captured the epic, roving story of garlic--until now. While this book does not claim that garlic saved civilization (though it might cure whatever ails you), it does take us on a grand tour of its fascinating role in history, medicine, literature, and art; its controversial role in bigotry, mythology, and superstition; and its indispensable contribution to the great cuisines of the world. And just to make sure your appetite isn't slighted, Garlic offers over 100 recipes featuring the beloved ingredient.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42986166616144,"sku":"9781611801606B","price":12.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/garlic-an-eidble-biography","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
