Best Garlic for home cooking
What Garlic is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The clove that starts more ComidaTime pots than any other aromatic — smashed, sliced, or left whole in oil.
In 30 ComidaTime kitchens, including American, Argentine, and West African, Garlic is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
A smashed clove in cold oil, warmed slowly, is a different ingredient from browned chips. The books use both. Burn it and start over.
