| From its humble beginnings more
than a quarter century ago, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has exploded
into
an all-out lovefest of 125,000-plus ravenous ravishers of the fragrant
bulb. On the first weekend in July, fun and feasting take over the
bustling
community of Gilroy, California, as garlic lovers gather to live,
breathe,
and, of course, taste their favorite clove in a variety of culinary
incarnations.
The centerpiece of all this aromatic activity is the Great Garlic
Cook-Off,
a unique venue for amateur cooks and professional chefs from around the
country to compete head-to-head. Now back in print, the second volume
of
the festival’s recipes brims with prizewinners,
crowd-pleasers, and palate-teasers,
proving the endless possibilities of glorious garlic. |
