Buckwheat pretzels sound yummy as does Peppers Stuffed with Quinoa and Black Beans.

The Complete Book of GarlicA Guide For Gardeners, Growers and Serious Cooks Ted Jordan Meredith 2008 (USA) This “garlic encyclopaedia” is a beautifully illustrated resource for gardeners, garlic lovers and aspiring garlic farmers. The author has assembled an impressive array of garlic facts and know-how in what amounts to an entertaining and informative garlic textbook. Amazingly detailed photographs accompany descriptions of 150 different garlic varieties in 11 cultivar groups of both softneck (non-bolting) and hardneck (bolting) types. It may be difficult to get hold of many of the cultivars in Australia but it’s hard not to be fascinated by the variety of garlic presented. There is practical, well-researched advice on cultivation, fertilising, spacing and yield, watering, weeding, cleaning, curing, diseases and pests, container growing and mulch. There’ll be little you don’t know about garlic after digesting the chapters on the natural history and life cycle of garlic; the structure and function of the garlic plant’s parts and the chemistry of garlic. Taxonomy and preserving genetic diversity are also addressed in great detail. If you’re interested in garlic, this book will be difficult to put down. 330pp HC, full colour BC146 |
