Dolce Vita™ cookbook includes a lot of recipes with garlic as an ingredient. Garlic has many health benefits. I tried to use garlic in as many recipes as possible.

Benefits of Garlic:

• Protects from oxidative stress
• Supports healthy blood pressure
• Good source of vitamin C and Vitamin B6
• Daily intake lowers risk of most cancers
• Effective against yeast infections and clotting disorders
• Rich in powerful sulfur-containing compounds

When using garlic it is best to let it sit after it has been chopped or crushed. This will allow your chopped/crushed garlic time to sit before changing its temperature. This allows the alliinase enzymes in garlic a chance to work and benefit your health.
