The Garlic Farm Cook Book

RUNNING at a 128-page full colour guide, with over 40 unique recipes inspired by garlic and other seasonal produce,

was launched in the Isle Of Wight recently after the success of an idea some 25 years ago flourished into an annual festival. The result is a book that embraces all that is good when cooking and using garlic.

The now internationally famous Isle of Wight Garlic Festival attracts thousands of gourmets in search of “a good garlic kick.” Items on sale include garlic beer, garlic ice cream, garlic fudge as well as all the full range of Garlic Farm products.

The festival organisers chose wines by Hix & Buck to accompany their dishes, (available online at www.hixandbuck.com) and in particular a merlot for their signature garlic chicken dish.

Bringing together the Boswell family’s garlic wisdom in one fascinating volume, the guide consolidates 30 years’ of expert garlic knowledge and shares secrets on how to grow, harvest, plait, store, and get the best flavours from your garlic.

Described as the ‘ultimate guide to garlic’, there is a wealth of culinary information on different varieties, garlic folklore and how to use garlic for health.

The Garlic Farm Cook Book costs £9.50 and is available for purchase online at www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk
