Hello Thomas,

I bought your book recently and one of the first receipes in it is for simple roasted garlic. Yesterday I was able to find a terra cotta roaster and did a big bulb of Chinese purple in the microwave. It was delicious, with olive oil and terragon and a little salt on crackers. I ate almost the every clove (Laura got two) and my arteries were wisked clean.

One question about garlic, I read in your book that it is not recommended to eat it raw. Sometimes we use a press and put a clove into a salad raw, and have not suffered any ill side effects. It seems to be a matter of amount... too much is a bit hard on the stomach and intestines.

Do you have any additonal thoughts about eating it raw?
