Does the aroma of garlic simmering in olive oil make your mouth water? If it does, so will the recipes in Everything Tastes Better with Garlic (Chronicle Books; $19.95) by Sara Perry. Grilled T-Bone Steaks with Garlic Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, Garlic Risotto with Baby Peas and Truffle Oil, Coney Island Hot Dogs with Damn-Good Garlic Sauce and Garlic Ice Cream are just a few of over 70 recipes.

Garlic is one of the most versatile flavors ever to grace a kitchen. It not only tastes good, it is good for you, too. Research has shown garlic has a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol and wards off colds.
