Imagine how boring food was in the 19th century, when garlic was absent from American cuisine.
There is more than one way to love a bulb of garlic. You can love it full-throttle, as in Spain, where alioli—a mayonnaise-like sauce—may contain enough raw garlic to slay a vampire. Or you can love garlic like a faithful spouse you take for granted, as in China, the source of more than 70% of the world’s garlic, where mountains of garlic are simply one of the basic seasonings of everyday life. It is also possible to love garlic in a more timid way, like a bashful lover.
However you love it , garlic is in our lives to stay and available to be enjoyed in a hundred different ways. And now is the time. The freshest garlic are the green scapes of spring , but summer garlic is hard to beat. Whether purple or white, new summer bulbs are firmer outside and juicier inside than bulbs that have been stored until winter . As the Italian-American cookery writer Marcella Hazan wrote, with young garlic, “the flavor is so sweet that one can be careless about quantity.
