"If you face toward Gilroy and take a deep breath, you can almost smell the good times being cooked up for this great weekend."-San Jose Mercury News

Product Description
From its humble beginnings more than a quarter century ago, the Gilroy Garlic Festival has exploded into an all-out lovefest of 125,000-plus ravenous ravishers of the fragrant bulb. On the first weekend in July, fun and feasting take over the bustling community of Gilroy, California, as garlic lovers gather to live, breathe, and, of course, taste their favorite clove in a variety of culinary incarnations. The centerpiece of all this aromatic activity is the Great Garlic Cook-Off, a unique venue for amateur cooks and professional chefs from around the country to compete head-to-head. Now back in print, the second volume of the festival’s recipes brims with prizewinners, crowd-pleasers, and palate-teasers, proving the endless possibilities of glorious garlic.

This Book is one of my most ofton used cook books. I use this cookbook every time I enter tain. The Stuffed Mushroom Recipe has made some of my dinner partys famous. It's a great cook book to own and a must. If you love garlic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tasty Favorite Treat That Keeps The Vampires At Bay, Too!, August 15, 2008

By	My Three Cents (Logan, UT) - See all my reviews

Thank heaven for people who care enough about cooking to take the time to share their recipes with garlic. Garlic is a personal preference that I love to eat and it's nice to find a cookbook that gives you some diversity with taste and preparation. Garlic Lovers shall inherit the Earth! (and I've never had a run-in with a vampire, either!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Duplicate recipes of Volume I, January 26, 2009

By	M. Healy (Irving, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this cookbook for my boyfriend who has the first "Garlic Lovers' Cookbook" from Gilroy, which he loves and uses all the time. I assumed these would be new recipes, after all they have this festival every year. He found that all of the recipes were repeats of the original cookbook and we ended up returning it. Very disappointing.
