Ramping Up for National Garlic Day: The Bloggers & The Scoop #4theLoveofGarlic #Sponsor

By
I love garlic. No two ways about it. If a recipe calls for one clove of garlic, I scoff and add in - a bare minimum of - two more cloves for good measure! 

The Italians have a saying: chi usa l'aglio non fa mai sbaglio. The gist of it is this: using garlic is never wrong. Agreed. While I am not Italian, I learned to cook in Italy, so my cooking sensibilities hail from there.


So, when Dreamfarm offered their new Garject to a group of bloggers to review*, I decided to make it a party. I rallied six bloggers. And for six days, leading up to National Garlic Day which is Wednesday, April 19th, we'll be sharing garlic creations, reviewing the Garject, and hosting a giveaway. Six of our lucky readers will win their own Garject.

Melissa's Produce is also sponsoring #4theLoveofGarlic and shipped all the bloggers a huge box of garlic, including elephant garlic and black garlic, to use in their recipes.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
