Glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice comment.

Thanks!

They say that the center of the garlic is bitter and that by removing it the dish becomes better and more "sweet". Frankly, (as I believe I said in the video) I think it's all BS. Someone must have written it in a book decades ago and now the Italians act as if it's a fact. Perhaps at one time, this may have been true with a particular type of garlic? I don't know. However, I think I could make two dishes one with the center of the garlic removed and one with the center intact and no one alive would be able to consistently tell the difference. It's like Escoffier (who without a doubt was one of the best chefs to ever live) wrote that in order to seal the juices in a piece of meat you should sear it. Of course, we know this is completely false and that the opposite is actually true. We now know that when you sear meat you create new flavor compounds, which makes the meat more delicious. However, though that was written more than 100 years ago, cooks still quote it and treat it as fact when it has been proven false for at least 20 years. As the great Heston Blumenthal says, "question everything".

Thank you!
