Long time NQN readers will know that I have a bit of a thing for garlic. I’ve written about it before and whenever I see Australian grown garlic I get rather excited even bringing it back on a plane to use back home. Most people know that the cheap garlic that you buy in supermarkets for 5 bulbs for $1-$2 is in fact bleached garlic and the taste leaves a lot to be desired. Even the supermarkets who are a bit slow on picking up trends realise that we don’t want that the bleached garlic but instead import it from South America adding food miles and exposing us to older stock.
Former model, TV presenter and author Patrice Newell grows her own biodynamic garlic in Elmswood in the Hunter Valley. She has a legion of fans for her garlic, in fact I missed out on getting the garlic one year as it was so popular and is a summer crop. Like you’d buy fruit in season, you need to get your garlic now (there’s only a few weeks to go!). Damien Pignolet, Kylie Kwong and Tony Bilson are all ardent fans of her beautiful, large clove purple garlic.
This garlic with big cloves is the hardest to grow. It bruises easily and farmers prefer to grow smaller bulbs with the only exception to the rule being Russian garlic, sometimes called elephant garlic which is really a leek which they don’t grow. Patrice specialises in purple hard neck varieties that are planted, weeded, pulled and cured by hand. No chemicals are used at all. Not all Australian garlic’s are equal too – regular Australian garlic is sprayed more than once during the growing season with herbicides and fungicides. I love cooking with her garlic not just for the taste but because practically speaking the bigger cloves are easy to peel and slice-I’m a practical gal and if you’ve ever made a garlic rich sauce, it can be annoying peeling a dozen mini cloves!
Patrice says “We set up doing direct deliveries so we’d feel closer to our customers and they get to know the farmer that feeds them. I’ve become obsessed about garlic and want to ensure our genetic strains are kept. We’ve just had 18 year old Subaru here from Hokkaido, learning about biodynamics, he wants to be a farmer in Japan and he now knows all about garlic!”
Well after all of that I just need to let some lucky winners try this garlic don’t I? Thanks to the lovely Patrice Newell, three lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will each win a 1 kilo gift box of Patrice Newell’s premium garlic delivered to their door to get a chance to try it for themselves! For a chance to win this all you have to do is tell me what’s the most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to your home? Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST 13th March, 2011. Yep this is a shorter giveaway as she wants to send you garlic when it is at its peak! This is open to people within Qld, NSW, ACT or Victoria. Sorry, other states have quarantine restrictions!

HOORAY! My address is in QLD so I get to enter!
I adore garlic but have never had this before. I can only imagine how much better it tastes than the pale versions we get. 
The most exciting thing for me would be sharing it with my cooking club friends and have a garlic themed night. 
Is London too far to make me eligible to enter
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my home would be to discover whether it is fragrant enough to deter the neighbourhood cat from coming to my door as usual on the lookout for food. I love cats but our neighbourhood cat unfortunately has too many fleas. The garlic would allow me to make some aioli for my lunchtime sandwiches.
Hi Lorraine, The best thing about getting a box of garlic delivered? You know it ain’t a vampire attempting to gain entry into your home!! And if the box happens to be from Ms Newell? Even better, as its biodynamic – in all its pesticide and all other nasties free condition! I can hear Edward Cullen squealing in anguish as we speak.
Gobsmack’d
What nice looking garlic. Have u ever tried smoked garlic? I got some from Fortnum & Mason. It stinks up the fridge, but its some good stuff!
Have a great weekend!
*kisses* HH
I can’t believe how excited I am over the possibility of winning Australian garlic, I’m already thinking up ideas of what I could do with it! Roasted garlic bread, delicious pasta sauces, caramelised garlic pizza, garlic aioli ooohh and baked brie with garlic – mmmmmmmmm! oh the possibilities!
That would be super exciting having fresh garlic delivered to my door – scare off the neighbours! Seriously I cook with so much garlic and it would definitely be put to good use.
I bought some purple skin garlic at Eveleigh markets grown near Orange last week, beautiful.
With the cooler months upon us, it’s time to stock up on garlic! The first thing I’d make if I am one of the lucky receiver of this is your roast chicken with 40 garlic cloves! I made it last year and it was beautiful!! Not to mention, I’m a huge garlic fan as well. Can’t have enough of it really! Plus, this might also feed my husband’s recent addiction to garlic prawns.
Oh. My. God. 1kg of Patrice Newell garlic?! Heaven! My husband and I both love garlic so much, ‘garlic breath’ is never even a consideration we’ve had
OH I love Australian garlic. I am always disappointed when I go to the shops/markets and there is only that bleached garlic from China available. I’d rather go without than expose myself and the kids to that. I never knew garlic could be home-delivered … perhaps it will replace traditional flower deliveries for foodies!
The best thing about getting garlic delivered to the door? The possibilites. I could do the 40 clove chicken or an awesome roasted garlic soup to ward away any nasty germs… or just sit there and smile at it while dreaming of awesome meals to make the most of the flavour.
I <3 Patrice Newell garlic and buy some every year. The heat and fragrance are phenomenal.
I stumbled upon your web site while looking for places to eat and entertain my daughters friends that are flying in for her hens weekend.Its now top in my favorites list. Then clicked on today and saw the PRIZE my hubby does all the cooking in this house and uses garlic in everything, he is not invited to the hens w/end but am sure he would prefer staying home and cooking using this heavenly garlic
Patrice Newell garlic = fabulous Greek delicacies like skordalia, tzatziki. I better warn the family, friends and work colleagues just in case I win. Garlic breath, here I come (I hope)!
Lorraine I love your 40 garlic clove chicken – and you’re so right about peeling those tiny little cloves that are often all we can obtain – just irritating! These cloves look wonderful – I can smell and feel them just by looking at the photos.
Getting ANYTHING delivered to your door is always very exciting… And getting garlic is no exception. It is so wonderfully presented too – purple box, the clove heads snuggled among the straw, the lovely card – I am a garlic lover, always have been. Unfortunately, if garlic is subjected to any extreme temperature changes (cooking, freezing), it loses all its medicinal power and just gives us the wonderful aroma and the ‘taste kick’. I would love to cook some nice things with this garlic – i would make a load of passata and freeze it for later. I’d make cheese and garlic soup, some cheese toasts, some garlicky ricotta stuffed tomatoes… So many possibilities! Yum. Please, send this garlic my way! Thank you. ann
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my home would be to cook all the malaysian dishes I like.One of the dishes is called ‘Bak Kut Teh’, pork belly (to be kind to my waist-line, I ONLY buy the leanest!) herbal stew infuse in many cloves of unpeel garlic cloves. My mouth is watering already thinking about this!
Wow! I have just moved to the Bellarine Peninsula – Victoria -to an acreage with small orchard and vegie patch. Very keen to try growing my own garlic (we eat so much of it!) and would love to try Patrice’s garlic. I read her biography and am fascinated by what we might be able to grow on our little patch of heaven. Please choose me!!
The numerous recipes are ticking over in my head as I am writing this email. Cant wait
Garlic delivered to your home going into the cooler Winter months, need i say more, GARLIC is GOD in our house!! I don’t have time to get sick or run down with a husband living interstate/ overseas & 4 children to deliver to various schools around Canberra, we love our Garlic, one stop health magic. Love Posie
Wow I can taste it now. I had the most amazing garlic-stuffed olives the other day I think I could eat it raw.
The most exciting thing about receiving a box of garlic to my door would be…
- it’s so pretty I’d put it on display
- I’d roast some straight away and smear it on hot toasted bread
Ok my mouth is watering. It’s not good to crave garlic so early in the morning!
Opening the box: the sight of it, the smell of it, the anticipation of the flavour of it. Salivatory excitement.
The idea that garlic prawns are not far away!
Mmmm….Patrice’s garlic. It could arrive just in time for my almost finished wood fired oven. Home made wood fired bread smeared with confit garlic!
it would be fantastic to be able to put it in more recipes and dishes than i do now because it adds such a wonderful taste to most lunch and dinner recipes
The most exciting thing about receiving a box of garlic?
- Happy
Garlic bread is my all time favourite meal. My hubby can make his truly authentic Aussie Garlic bread and serve them for our breakfast in bed. We’re still in Valentine’s Day mode 
- Relief. With winter months approaching our doorstep, I’d love to stock them up in my pantry. Garlic soups are great for common colds and most health ailments. No more “Ah ah ah a-chew” in winter!
- Excited. Having heard of Hainanese Chicken Rice through your wonderful website twice (To Market, To Market and your March 2nd recipe), I’m already hooked. I’m planning to make this dish for my Mum’s 79th birthday party next month (to make up for last year’s soggy carrot cake and poor reviews).
- Phew! I don’t need to rush to Footscray Market after work to compete with the aunties for discounted packet of cheap garlic after the morning rush. That’s only if I win of course, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed
- Mmmm… honestly, I’d love to taste Patrice Newell Premium Garlic and find out first hand what others (like my idol Kylie Kwong
) have been raving about.
I’d be happy, relief and excited (with all the phews and mmms…) to be able to experience this gift. Thanks Lorraine!
Lynnette
We go through garlic by the bucket load. I’m a bit ashamed that I haven’t been more of a better ‘home grown garlic’user. Deliver it to me and I’ll never go back! Promise!
I get excited when I see Australian garlic too and even better knowing this has been treated well. A big box landing on the doorstep would be great as it would be a good excuse to get my tragic foodie girlfriends around to plan a few big cookups and preserve/chutney/paste making sessions as well as a big feast.
For just once I’ll go wow! wow! wow! Not my usual style, but since I do buy a bag of the Chinese sourced ‘yuck’ (sorry, undiplomatic!) garlic every month and cannot imagine a main dish without it, oh, wouldn’t it be wonderful + + +! It’s not only the lack of taste in the Chinese, but I know it is full of pesticides/fungicides like their green tea I refuse to get.
Perfumed, fresh, purple garlic at the door! At the moment I cannot not think of anything I want more! 40-clove garlic chicken – have not made it for ages!
PS. So that is where the lovely, talented Patrice Newell took herself!!!
How slack are we, we live in the Hunter and hadn’t heard of Patrice, shall be dropping in on her next visit to Gundy! Thanks Lorraine
As an avid maker of chutneys and sauces, I’ve recently turned my attention to the perfect aioli and I reckon this looks like the idea garlic to a) get it spot on and b) make enough to share around the office and spread the love. Cheers!
This is a fantastic prize! I would love to make some roasted garlic to spread on fresh crunchy baguette! Perfect for all the soups I’m about up start cooking.
The best thing about having a box of patrice’s garlic delivered to my door would be to experience this wonderful produce in the dim dark west of sydney where there is a total deqrth of any gourmet food places, or even a half decent cafe if you can find ont hat isn’t a chain.
My momma always used to say.. Life is like a box of garlic, you never know what you’re gonna taste until you put the bad breath aside.
I’d be stoked to the Nth degree to receive my box of Patrice Newell Premium Garlic. I can cook Mum’s traditional garlic based recipes like Hot & Spicy Garlic Sausage, Spanish Garlic Soup and that scrumptious Garlic Butter Prawns. Intoxicatingly delicious, yum!
I can also perfect my Singapore Chilli Crab, with plenty of fresh garlic to sizzle the taste buds.
I can add to my garlicky breath with a serve of durian for dessert after my dinner
Nic xox
ohhh. roasted aussie organic garlic. yum. With a whole box of garlic I would be eating it every day,on everything, knowing my immune system was getting a great boost. Funnily enough just this week I finished reading again Patrice’s first book ‘The Olive Tree’ She’s an amazing woman, and an inspiration.
sorry … don’t think it was her first book… and I got the name wrong (had a senior’s moment!) – the book is “The Olive Grove”.
Is garlic good for the memory?
What a lovely gift idea with the cold weather approaching,keeps a cold a bay
Hi NQN
thank you for enlightening me about Patrice’s garlic. I have followed the Elmswood story but was not aware we could buy her garlic here in Sydney. Ordered somew immediately and cannot wait for it to arrive
Jo
Hi Lorraine, I am forever on the look out for Australian Garlic which is increasingly hard to find. All supermarkets and fruit shops mostly stock Chinese or Mexican. Until I start growing my own, getting a box delivered to my doorstep would be fab. Nevertheless, thanks for the link, I bookmarked PN’s site and will order some regardless. XXOO
One of the best things about having a box of Patrice Newell’s garlic delivered to my door is the opportunity for my dog Jimbo to bark at the postie (who I am convinced did something to Jimbo based on the way he behaves whenever the postie delivers packages). But of course even better are the endless cooking opportunities it would bring – yum, garlic!!
Wow i havent heard of Patricias garlic before ut im glad i have now! It would be exciting to win and the garlic sounds really great,a dear friend loves to cook and uses garlic all the time,it would be wonderful to share and he would be delighted if he could use these in his dishes!
Oh wow. I have to admit, at Flemington Markets where i do all my produce, cheese, olives, chicken, meat & fish purchasing, it is difficult to find and buy local aussie garlic, there is a lot of asian stuff out there. Would love to win a box of her garlic, but if not, I will definately be trying it from her all the same.
The best thing about winning Patrice Newell’s delicious aussie garlic would be the opportunity to share it with friends so they can taste the difference.
hi lorraine…the best thing for me about this garlic would be if i could accept it off the postie with both arms…my left broken arm is still healing in the sling…then i would make some garlic butter and have it on a piece of steak…now i made myself hungry haha…
thanking you also for the post on zumba’s show…i didn’t know it was on till i read your blog that day…
Knowing that its freshness and local-ness will stay juicy and pungent for ages, unlike the shop garlic which becomes dry husks very quickly, usually when you need it for a particular dish!
The most exciting thing about receiving a box of garlic at my door is that I won’t have to worry anymore about a pouty and whiney Edward Cullen showing up afterwards.
OOOHHH 1kg box of garlic, that would be so exciting that I would have to do a 40 clove garlic roasted chicken. Maybe some fresh aioli as well. Could pickle some too. So many exciting things to do with garlic that just thinking about having a whole KG of super fresh Aussie garlic to play with is exciting in itself.
The most exciting thing would be knowing that my food would automatically taste better and would probably last a lot longer than some of the rubbish I’ve had to buy lately. I also think my Italian family would be pretty happy to help me use up 1 kilo of garlic
The best thing would be…making tasty garlic and herb bread to go with my favourite potato and leek soup!
garlic??? im using them to keep vampires away! xD im joking, garlic is so awesome! ive recently been making garlic and cheese pan bread alot cos it is so convenient and buttery and yummy! (not very calorie friendly tho ><)
so i think the best thing about getting a box of garlic delievered to my door is being able to meet someone other than my postman and having quality assured garlic!
Wow! Came back on site to find the most inspired lot of blogs I have yet encountered! Lynnette’s offering is a standout, methinks! And all of that on a busy Saturday morning! Seems there will be a sellout for PN’s crop courtesy of the column in record time! Thanks to all the other bloggers for all their marvellous ideas! None of us seem the least interested in roses!!!
I could do so many things with it. I could give some to my family and friends, cook with it, crush it and store it in a glass jar and pour olive oil over it so its ready to cook with. It’s great with bread and butter toasted with a big bowl of soup. The best thing is that it is grown here and not overseas like so many herbs and vegies are.
What would be the most exciting thing if a box of garlic turned up on the doorstep?
My mother’s face as she turns to her 17yr old garlic junky (me) and asks “WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THIS?”
Yes that would be a fun situation
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Patrice Newell has garlic
Very blue in its hue.
Her garlic is delicious
In so many dishes you cook,
From alloili to meatballs,
For more check her book.
There wouldn’t be a day that goes by without garlic in our house. If I could find a way to eat it on cereal I would! For those who say, ‘go easy on the garlic’ I say ‘You can never have too much!’ My garlic soup is a favourite, as is my fresh garlic, tomato and basil pasta, as is the garlic and lemon bbq chicken I have marinating in the fridge for tonight’s dinner. The most exciting thing about receiving a box of garlic? IT’S A BOX OF GARLIC!! Just as exciting as a box of chocolates…. Mmmmmm, I’m off to make some garlic bread.
What is not exciting about an entire box of garlic? All my dreams come true!!! (I’m a garlic fiend)
But the most exciting part would be that I’m currently fighting a cold, and garlic and ginger are my go-to cures for getting rid of it quick.
What’s not to like about packages arriving at your doorstop. Especially wonderful garlicky packages! Biodynamic, local garlic looking pretty in box…yes please! (I’m ambitiously going to try and grow some again in pots this year too.)
Yay I’d be able to make my famous chilli and garlic prawns, everyone will be happy then
Since the heavy rains of 1 December washed away the road access to my home [which is deep in the bush] has involved an 8 km walk unless one is brave and equipped with a 4WD vehicle….. so I giggle at the thought of mail [I use a PO Box] or courier deliveries to my home…… they just would not and could not happen !
I’m sure the postie will wonder what the hell is in the box.
I’ll tell him when he knock knocks and I may even offer him a some to ward off a cold.
Convenience of Door-to-Door! Olives/Garlic = great food
Susie Q
A WHOLE BOX OF Patrice Newell’s garlic??? YES, YES, YES! If there was such a thing as garlic porn….
I hate all those nasty, bleached, chemical-blasted, whimpy, white imported imposter garlic knobs on sale in the shops. I tried to grow my own and it failed to thrive. I trawled every farmers market within 20km before christmas for garlic, that I plaited into presents for my extended family. Not enough left for me.
Bernadette
~~~I smell the garlic simmering in my frying pan in Duluth, Minnesota already!
The most exciting thing about getting this gorgeous garlic delivered directly to my door is adding it to my already great spaghetti sauce, which has been passed down the generations in my big fat Italian Family!
I must have it. I must…I must xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi, I’m in. Apart from it being Australian, and let’s try to buy every thing Oz if we can (especially canned tomatoes kids), have had Patrice’s garlic before and it is great! Mike
Most exciting thing about getting garlic delivered to my door is, that never happened before and I can make garlic chilli prawns.
the best thing about getting that gorgeous garlic delivered would be the suprise on my dad’s face as i would defiantly be giving it to him…maybe just a few bulbs less hehe
We just love and use masses of garlic. Its exciting to be able to get fresh/organic garlic. We want it please! If we don’t win we will be purchasing anyway as it looks so good.
OMG, I feel like I’ve failed so badly as a foodie (even an amateur one) in that I DIDN’T know the stuff at the supermarkets was bleached! I’ve never had anything different!
So the most exciting things about getting a box sent to me would be a) getting to try REAL garlic, b) being able to ward off the colds that I KNOW I’m going to suffer from in the coming months, and c) warding off Stephen’s dad, who hates the smell of garlic with a passion!
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered is that we can eat most of it (roast garlic cloves), and save a little to plant in our own garden, to make sure that, on our own small scale, we have access to ‘real’ garlic all year round! This long weekend I’m preparing the rose beds out the front of our inner-city terrace to take some garlicky bed-mates. Apparently they’re great to grow together.
Mmm!Mmm!I can smell it now….Bruschetta, spag bol etc etc…my mouth waters in anticipation…
Years ago my neighbour gave me some of his home-grown garlic bulbs…large, full cloves. With full instructions I planted them in my garden with great results. Then when I moved I took heaps with me & hung them in a bunch in my shed. Unfortunately, I lost the lot to dampness & have never regained the flavour since. Fingers crossed for PATRICE NEWELL.
Ooh, wishing I lived in Australia right about now, that garlic is gorgeous!!
I love garlic but I just can’t eat the supermarket stuff anymore. It makes your hands smell (and not in a good way) and the flavour just isn’t there. The most exciting thing about getting Patrice’s garlic delivered to my door would be firstly, the delivery (I love presents) and secondly, all the magical wonderful garlicy goodies I could make with it! I missed out on purple garlic last year (after reading about it here) and I haven’t had a chance to try it yet!
The most exciting thing about getting garlic delivered to my home is that the smell of it should deter the rest of the household away from the package, and for once, I will get the pleasure of opening a parcel all by myself!
How the simple things become so pleasurable when you have a family!
The best thing about having a whole box of garlic delivered would be the chance to confit the garlic so I can retrieve it for use over the winter months ahead. A winter of garlic laden tarts, stews and braises would be wonderful!
My dad would think all his Christmas’ have come at once if this rocked up on our doorstep LOL.
The most exciting thing will be the delicious garlic confit I will make with it soon after it’s arrival
I think the most wonderful thing to make with an abundance of garlic would be the lebanese garlic dip! it’s to DIE for!! it keeps for ages in the fridge and you can add it to a million and 1 difference dishes, from scrambled eggs to stir fried greens! Last time I made some I nearly blew up my sisters food processor…Ooops…as it was running for so long (I wanted to add the oil REALLY slowly so as not to split it) BUT next week I’m getting a Thermomix (have you seen them Lorraine? they are amazing! They’ve been on MasterChef and IronChef. I’d be happy to demo one for you anytime) and as they have a magnetic motor thing-a-ma-gig it won’t over heat….oh the joys!!
I can’t wait!!
I am really fussy with garlic and this sounds amazing! We buy really fresh garlic from our local market and it is so much different than the stuff you buy in the supermarket! It doesn’t have papery, dry outer layers, they are nice and moist. Truly amazing.
The best thing about receiving the garlic is that I’d be able to cook my mum’s authentic Greek recipes for her, with true flavour that she enjoyed back in the village when she was a child!
To watch my son who is an apprentice chef work his magic and create something delicious with Patrices garlic would be soooo very good and inspiring to see him working with such a quality and Australian garlic.
Sometimes being in Italy is a curse.
Oooh the most exciting thing about getting all that garlic is that Australian garlic is hard to find, so I don’t buy huge amounts. But with 1kg of lovely purple (my favourite colour) Aussie garlic arriving at my door, there would not only be plenty for me to put it into pretty much everything, but also enough left over to give a jar of fragrant garlic sauce to everyone I was likely to come into contact with! Never eat garlic alone – sharing is caring!
My sister and I have been very into gourmet ‘farming’ lately.. we’ve been trying to transform our backyard to a farm. We have successfully planted Onions, chives, Spring Onions, Lettuce, Cucumber, tomato and heaaaps more! we have always wanted t ogrow our own garlic but we only wanted to grow ‘gourmet’ garlic so getting this gift would mean SOOOOOOOO much to us. Also, we can make delicious treats with garlic. it also keeps the vampires away.. hehehhehhehe
I LOVE GARLIC more than a girl loves shoes 
Garlic Kisses!
I cook with so much garlic..so the best thing about having some delivered would be the trips it would save to the supermarket for the el cheapo garlic you mention! Sounds delicious, great to try Aussie produce
Ooo.. garlic… stay away vampires! I love purple bulbs.. I never realised the white ones were bleached… Eeeerrrkk!!!
Almost ALL my cooking has garlic! So i’d REALLY be getting something that use loads! With 4 kids to feed as well, i can see myself making some good ol’ garlic bread which the kids would love crunching into after soccer training
FRESH IS BEST AND HOME GROWN IS FLAVOURSOME
WHAT A SHOCK, DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GARLIC IS BLEACHED,
KNOW I NOW WHY I CANNOT GET THE FULL PUNGENT FLAVOUR.
With the new Twilight movie coming out soon I think I need to cook up a garlic storm to keep the Twihards at bay! Would love love love some of this wonderful garlic
Shame on me not knowing about bleaching of supermarket garlic
I haven’t bought any for ages because of it being imported so would love the chance to savour the flavour of proper garlic. I think I’d give chicken adobo a go.
Oh yum! The most exciting thing – besides EATING them!! – is breaking them up and planting loads of the cloves in the garden! Perfect garlic planting time!
The best thing about home delivered patrica Newell farlic would be crushing some and watching the juice squirt from the fresh cloves, something so difficult to experience with the poor quality garlic generally available. I’d keep some to put in our socks when someone gets a cold and use the rest in magnificent garliccy recipes, especially roasted whole garlic. My mouth waters, my nose twitches as I await the postman…
The most exciting thing about garlic being delivered to my door, would be the anticipation of the beautiful aroma that would then fill my home.
I looovveee garlic! It has to be the best thing to flavour your food with. The smell is mouthwateringly good
I would be excited as its always fun getting deliveries and I could create super yum creations with this one!!
Well, once I decided to try making toum from scratch, using a good old mortar and pestle. Using some cheap garlic I’d bought from the supermarket (terrible mistake in hindsight), I made the toum and took a taste. Simply awful! The taste of raw, low-quality garlic was overwhelming despite me using a highly-rated recipe simply because the garlic I bought sucked. So the most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic would be trying to make toum from scratch again instead of just pansying out and buying a tub from the supermarket!
OMG! I am known amongst my friends as the Garlic Queen. Garlic is one of my 4 favourite foods (chocolate, wine and cheese are the others). If a recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic, I put in 2 or 3, if it calls for 2, I put in 4…you get the idea. I have been known to eat 2 bulbs of garlic on my own in chicken recipes where you cook the garlic in its skin ie Chicken for Melita by Stephanie Alexander.
The best thing about having a box of this very special garlic delivered to my door would be able to indulge in multiple recipes that call for garlic knowing that the quality of the end-product will be all the more special because of the amazing produce going into it.
It has always frustrated me that we can get a better cooking result using jarred minced garlic instead of the ‘fresh’ garlic offered in supermarkets. I would love to try this highly recommended fresh garlic. Please!
It’t a tossup between being excited to cook with the beautiful purple garlic I have never seen before, or sacrificing a clump to grow my own for next year. Why is it so hard to source Australian grown garlic? I believe it is so easy to grow, so am going to give it a go. But thanks so much for giving us the info on where to source locally grown beautiful healthy garlic!
The most exciting thing is that my mind is racing at 100 k an hour thinking up, dreaming up, recipes.
A kilo of garlic would be amazing – it would last me a year and I would still be able to give it to some of my garlic loving friends. Cool!
I never knew that garlic from most supermarket has been bleached. This is very useful info, lorraine.
If I have this garlic delivered to me, I would love to share this with my friends so they also know how much better this garlic then the bleached one.
hi lorraine…yes i have my husband to look after me…luckily he was able to take some leave to help with our daughter…have fun the rest of the weekend…dzintra
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic would be to make pork belly adobo – a dish reliant on loads and loads of garlic to make it super tasty and some garlic fried rice to go along with it.
I’m always on the hunt for locally grown Australian garlic as I love the big, flavoursome bulbs, ( my pet hate are the small cloves of garlic that take forever to peel, when this time could be used cooking something else).
What would I do if I received this wondrous prize of Patrice Newell delivered to my door? SQUEAL very loudly with delight, with my family running to see if I’ve lost my mind lol
They just don’t understand my passion for Garlic, much better than receiving a bunch of flowers, it can be eaten and lasts longer hehe
What would the culinary world be without this bulb, so many nationalities use it extensively? How can a Bruschetta be justified if the toasted bread is not first rubbed with it’s exquisite flavour! I laugh when my girls say ” wow, what’s that smell mum,what are you cooking it’s amazing?” , ie:garlic,olive oil, chilli, basil merrily sizzling away as a perfect base to many dishes or as a quick, simple but extremely tasty spaghetti sauce.
The best thing would be adding the beautiful garlic flavour to all of my yummy cooking….so yummy!!!
We grow biodynamic garlic at work (winery kitchen-garden), but we aren’t allowed to have any – it’s worth its weight in gold and goes straight to the chef! We poor gardeners nurture it from babyhood to glorious, vital,chemical-free maturity and then have to kiss it goodbye with tearful pride for others to love. Heartbreaking!
ZOMG so much good garlic!!! I’d be roasting, frying, and mashing up a storm! I think I’d be doing the fancy stuff (40 clove numbers), whereas I think my partner would just put it in mashed potatoes.
SO MUCH Better than flowers being delivered to my door.
They might look nice for a day or two before they end up in the compost.
Give me garlic any day, in fact my birthday is not too far away!
Otherwise any occasion is worth celebrating with Australian organic produce!
The excitement of having the distinct and dericious aroma of garlic about your fingers… which speaks of obvious culinary class!
The real question is what isn’t to like about garlic being delivered to your door? To really answer your question it is getting home and knowing that it’s going to be a garlicky dinner that night regardless of what I had planned.
As much as I like to deny my Iw
As much as I tell everyone “I’m a full blown Aussie..my parent’s were born here”…there is no mistaking my Italian heritage if you try any of my meals..if a recipe says “1″ clove of garlic-I read that as “3″ cloves of garlic! A box of garlic delivered to my house will not only keep the Vampires at bay (Pesky little buggers!) but it will make me change my above statement to: “I’m a full blown Aussie…My garlic was born here”!!!
The most exciting thing about having a box of garlic is that I could try so many fabulous garlic recipes using top notch garlic grown right here in Oz.
The best thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my door is that it keeps people guessing! Maybe they will be intriuged enough to try it for themselves.
I once harvested local garlic for a week in the holidays,and that shows how much I love it as even that has never deterred me from my love of garlic. Yumm…
Your post evoked the smells I want in my kitchen- roast garlic squeezed on fresh baked bread, pasta doused in home made garlic oil, chicken with (at least!) 40 cloves of garlic…
For me though, I adore the thud of squashing a clove with the knife in order to peel it! Great stress release.
BooHoo …. not eligable for this giveaway … the garlic looks wonderful! It was your garlic chicken that brought me to your blog … thanks for your posts ….
Ding Dong! Receiving a surprise package from my postman would send my hearts aflutter. Opening the seal and being greeted with lovely Patrice Newell Premium Garlic would really set my mind and taste buds on fire. It’d conjure up images of slow roasted garlic and lemon crispy skin chicken, or juicy tiger prawns drizzled in copious amounts of spicy garlic sauce, or better still the succulent and tender Aussie lamb shanks with creamy garlic potato mash, or water chestnut, prawn with scallop garlic ravioli… what a feast to behold! I’ve always been passionate about cooking with garlic, and I simply can’t get enough of the garlicky aroma filling my kitchen. I love peeling the skins off my garlic and revealing their shiny body, then cutting them in fine slices (rather than crushing them), sprinkling the lovely pieces in my olive oil drenched wok and letting the heat work its magic on the garlic, allowing them to slowly caramel before I start cooking my dishes. That’s been my cooking ritual for many years.
P.S. If my Patrice Newell garlic dreams do indeed come true, I’ll make the most delicious garlic prawn ravioli using your December 2009 recipe and get the postman (or your reindeer if it’s still in service) to deliver them to your doorstep.
Having this delivered to my door would give me such a feeling of wellbeing for the approaching cooler months…as my own crop is no good this year!
This is exactly the inspiration I need to reacquaint myself with the joys of italian cooking- there are so many cloves of that meagre morsel of garlic that is readily available needed to pack a punch-that it becomes off putting. These look plump, inviting, pungent and easy to peel-would love to try them and cook heavily garlic infused delicacies for my friends.
My ex husband couldn’t eat garlic as the smell would ooze from his pores for days afterwards. As a new divorcee I look forward to using and eating garlic many times a week.
If a box of this gorgeous garlic was delivered to my door I would set about making my Hubby’s favourite – Seafood Marinara – with the freshest of seafood and this beautiful purple garlic I would have a taste explosion on my hands…
Exciting or scary my sister and best friend are garlicaholics so who would I give some to I know my sister would savour it she usede to be married to a leb and they indulge in everything garlic. I would share.
And I rap myself on my knuckles every day for overlong blogs!! Lorraine, see what natural Oz GARLIC can do!! Happy Sunday, dearHeart!
I adore Garlic but just can’t get any to grow this year because it just won’t stop raining long enough to get the vege patch started…:(
A box of garlic delivered to my door – how fabulous! The best thing about this would be feeling chuffed that I wouldn’t have to stoop to buying poor quality supermarket garlic that’s shipped all the way from China – just to enjoy some garlic in my cooking!!
The best thing would be the amount of roast garlic I could produce … roast garlic, Persian fetta, sourdough and a crisp white – yummo!
Well, I feel like a cuckolded lover. I adore garlic and had no idea. That the stuff in my supermarket had been involved in the dastardly behavior you described. I would love to try this one. I know I would become an immediate fan!
Oh my! The best thing about having a box of garlic delivered to my door would be the delicious garlic mushrooms that would follow.
The most exciting thing about getting a box of Patrice’s garlic is I would have something great to go with the 20 bottles of passata I just got from tomato day. We also have a small basil forest at the moment and those three ingredients are a perfect match! (I’ve read 2 of Patrice’s books and loved them!)
the most exciting this about receiving this fresh garlic delivered to my door would be the look of surprise on my family. They would be excited to see a family cook off with this fantastic australian garlic
Sherry – ‘cuckolded lover’- a priceless comment and quote! ‘Dastardly behaviour’ comes into close second place!
Having a supply of Aussie grown garlic is my dream and delivered fresh from the farm…….what could be better
Oh how I hunt for good garlic and unfortunatly fail due to where our nearest stores are. We live rural and our closest shops are in a low socio-economic area so very rarely do we have decent vegetables let alone good garlic. We do have a few plants in the ground that we are growing organically but they are not ready for some time yet.
Oh how I would love to have 1kilo turn up at my door not only for the taste and all the yummy food I could make but because of the health properties as well as at present we do get by on the dodgy imported white stuff but it cant be as good for us as what some of Patrice’s would be.
Several cloves would go to make my husband’s favourite treat–garlic prawns. Then homemade garlic bread and maybe some garlic mayo. Hopefully eating all that garlic will keep my friends away because they will want to share!
I would love Patrice’s garlic and just reading about it is enough because I have always been so obsessed not to buy the bleached type and have always wondered whether I am crazy as I mumble to myself in the garlic,onion and ginger aisle saying things like : okay, I can get this one because its from Spain or Mexico or wherever………….of course this only when I cant get Australian WHICH IS THE BEST!!!
Lorraine, this is a very useful info! I never knew about bleached garlic before and I look forward to taste this beautiful garlic
As much I’m sure I will love this and treasure it for myself, I’m so exciting to share these with my friends so they know as well how much better this garlic than the usual bought in supermarket.
Oh, Liz Wilson, I DO know how you feel! I live much closer to ‘where it is at’ but I am also in a somewhat lower ‘socio-economic’ area and I also have tried growing my own garlic from heirloom bits with not great success.
I most sincerely hope you are one of the people lucky enough
to have a courier turn up at your door! God bless – happy week ahead! Hope to meet you again on the blog!
I am so sad I can’t enter.
The tyranny living in Perth.
Good luck to those eligible!
Well, the most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my home is exactly that! I love to use Australian produce wherever I can. It gives me such a sense of pride and feeling like I am helping to support my fellow Australians who have grown the produce. I also know the product is superior due to less age and it is better for the environment, so it is a triple threat of joy! And I always get excited when I receive a delivery on my doorstep!
Hi, I adore garlic for a host of reasons but primarily now because I can no longer taste food. I had a massive brain haemorrhage a couple of years ago and that part of my brain was irreparably damaged, however I can still smell. So I add heaps of garlic to my cooking so I get the delicious aroma and sensation that only garlic imparts to a meal. Having it delivered to my door would be like heaven for me, or months of Christmas treats -I will not buy the cheap garlic so pure Australian garlic would be truly a treat.
Thank you for featuring this garlic as I now know where I can get garlic that is quality and Australian grown.
Regards
Angela
Im CRAZY about garlic, Australian garlic is amazing. When Im feeling a bit blue, Ill chop up some onion and garlic and fry it off, something about the gorgeous smells calm me. I’ve never had a box of Aussie garlic delivered to my door, but I’d think it pretty darn exciting, oh the things I could cook.
Great post Ms NQN, it’s wicked your crazy about garlic, we garlic obsessed are a special breed indeed. 
1kg of garlic! Perfect for eating and then having to avoid interacting with people because of the smell. My husband would love that!
Ooooo I LOVE garlic too, especially these 1-bulb type! Perfect for lazy me~ Just one bulb for 4-5 cloves
I adore garlic, and this looks divine! The most exciting thing about getting a box delivered to my door? Hmmm….I would say it would be buying a local organic leg of lamb, and cooking my garlic lamg, which calls for 20 – 40 cloves, cooked with the lamb for 8 – 10 hours. My all-time favourite lamb dish, and one which rewards good produce, especially great garlic! Thanks Lorraine!
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my home is that I didn’t have to goto the shops to buy it.
Ahh garlic what would the world be without it ….. the most exiting and funny thing would be to see the look on my partners face …. he is not the lover of garlic that i am … so i put it on everything … hahahahaha…. he will often say its nice a bit garlicky darl ….
.. thats the point …… 
Oh it looks so pretty! Its hilarious how excited foodies get about free goodies
recipes are flooding my brain as we speak!
The most exciting thing about winning this would be that i can throw out the shrivelled up garlic I had to buy from supermarket the other day which they called “mixed garlic” terrible! Am sure they blame the floods in our area for poor produce but its not good enough. This garlic looks wonderful i can smell it from here!
Look at those lovely HUGE cloves! The best thing about receiving a box of these goodies,besides sharing them with my mum who introduced me to NQN, would be having a group of foodie friends over for a garlic themed dinner party!
I would be sure to have lots of parsley and after dinner mints on hand!
Most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered? The envy of my neighbours when I cook something delicious with it – they might be knocking on my door for a sample!
Apart from ensuring that I’m getting the very best garlic to use in my recipes, it can ward off the vampires and I’ve heard it can keep other pests at bay. The human kind as well!
What a wonderful idea for a prize. I would love to try some fresh no spray, oh so hard to get garlic. It would be a great gift to share with friends.
Hi Lorraine, read your blog all the time and this is the first time i feel impelled to enter a competition as ‘garlic to me’ is like ‘honey to a bee’. There’s a story in the bible actually about the israelites leaving egypt and wondering about the wilderness and one of the things they moaned about was garlic!! (how ironic) Thanks again for your blog.
for the sheer joy of trying fresh, grown with love garlic xo
I’ve had the luxury of a mother-in-law who grew quantities of organic garlic for restaurants. Sadly her health does not permit her to do this anymore… my garlic supply has dried up and I have to use that horrible shop bought stuff! Oh to have good garlic again!!!!!
To my joy and delight, I was recently advised by my Naturopath that my garlic intolerance had cleared!!! So now for so many great garlicy dishes I’ve had to say no to for 6 months
How bad am I – I had no idea you could get this kind of garlic! I MUST try it!
Well for my wonderful partner’s birthday I tried to make his favourite dish of all time – toum! He’s background is lebanese and he introduced me to this wonderful white fluffy garlic dip. Searching for fresh Australian garlic with no luck left me with a garlic dip without the punch of the proper spicy pungent toum his aunty makes – the secret ingredient? the ever elusive Australian garlic! I think I have found her secret…
The most exciting thing about getting a box of beautiful purple garlic? Thinking up of all the wonderful dishes I get to cook it with! Will definitely have to make a batch of roasted garlic – so sweet and tender with the sharpness of the garlic caramelised!
if i was to win this garlic, i would visit my mum and dad in Brisbane, as i live in the NT. I’ve not seen them for a couple of years – the most exciting thing would be cooking garlic ‘everything’ for my nearest and dearest…might even be able to make some roasted garlic extra virgin olive oil that the quarantine officers would, all being well, allow through as processed/cooked should be ok to bring home!
Oh I don’t think I have ever tried garlic that has been as fresh as this. So I will be excited to see what the flavour is like!
I would love some of the garlic as I want to try (again) to grow my own. I put in a small pot last year, tended to it faithfully for months and months till I finally harvested – only to discover all my love and attention had produced tiny little lobes that didn’t even count as one clove each! I appreciate how hard it is to grow and I appreciate great garlic flavor!
Lorraine – can’t you access some of those ‘in power’ with the results of this remarkable blog? Can’t be THAT impossible to get the healthy, tasty stuff more widely grown and known in Australia? No hassle with balance of payments either!!
Would love some decent garlic produce for a change! Would drive my husband and the neighbourhood vampires wild!
Well, how could I not be excited? I am a garlic MONSTER. I eat it in every meal possible. If I found a box full on my doorstep I would instantly be propelled into cooking mode thinking of all the scrumptious recipes I could make that could be enhanced by this lovely garlic. Mmmm.. the possibilities.
The romance! (After all, it’s called the ‘stinky rose’) Would love to make garlic icecream like I had in the all-garlic restaurant in Sweden.
I am a garlicholic just love the stuff and use so much of it. I am drulling just thinking of a box of this glorious garlic arriving at my door i would be in heaven and i would be straight into madly cooking and enjoying every mouthful of garlic.
Hi Lorraine,
After reading the above blog I have now learnt that the garlics I use to buy from markets were bleached, the first thought that came to me when looked at your garlic pics was that they are young garlic hence they are a bit purple. Thanks for your insights on Garlic. I cook Indian dishes and all of them have garlic in it. This will be so useful to me. I live in Victoria.
Aside from thinking up all the fun and exciting things I will be able to cook with my new garlic, the MOST exciting thing would be knowing that I am not going to be attacked by vampires while I sleep. (On the other hand, I might not mind True Blood’s Eric Northman or Vampire Bill trying to gain entry!)
Oh. My. Garlic.
How pretty does it look in its home! I’m very willing to give it a new one! I would not be kidding in the slightest if I said my boyfriend would propose on the spot in front of the Australia Post man once this was delivered. He is garlic obsessed and would have it on his cereal if I let him.
P.S. I am willing to forgo friends for the next three months while we cook like madmen and bask in garlic glory.
It’s being able to prepare and cook as many bowls of garlic prawns that I can, I love them.
The inspiration it will create,
Imagine comparing it to the bad stuff we’ve ate!
I’d love to dive in and make some classic garlic delights,
Here’s comes bad breath every night!
The best thing is that roasted garlic is not far away. From box, to pan with oil, to tossed in fresh pasta with a touch of pesto… and then making sure hubby eats too so that kisses are okay!
keeping my partner from getting too frisky, a clove of the garlic and he’ll keep to his side of the bed
Forget the cockroaches – i won’t have a problem with Vampires for a while!
GARLIC! I love garlic! I love aglio olio with a good dose of garlic! Garlic fried rice too! Oh! All the garlicky food i could cook! Those garlic look so beautifully delicious!
I bought some of this seasons wonderful garlic after a long wait for it to become ready.Ihad read about it on your blog and it certainly did not disappoint.In a way Ihope someone who has never tried it wins but on the other hand it would be great to win it myself as Igave so much away to foodie friends so they could try it too!!
Nothing like delicious fresh garlic for cooking, herbal remedies and keeping away vamires
Purple garlic nestled in a box,
Put some in the pesto,
And marinate the prawns.
But my favourite of all
is when that pungent aroma lingers,
and reminds me of dinner delights
from the smell on my fingers!

Hi NQN – as I read this in chilly Sussex, I have been travelling with my husband in Europe for 18 months and will return to Brisbane on March 18th to an absolutley empty fridge, pantry and even herb garden. First event planned is a big grocery shop and then trip to the nursery to re-stock the herbs. A nice big box of natural Aussie Garlic would be a wonderful welcome home present. (and the 13th March also happen to be my birthday!)
Being able to share it with my family and friends, in the hope they will invite me over for dinner.
Patrice is a garlic godess… I have tried to grow my own and it shoots, but never produces a bulb! I bow to her expertise, and would adore some of her purple aussie garlic delivered to my door, where it will be shared with friends and family in many dishes at one of our frequent get togethers
To make my favourite Italian dishes for my family to dine, naturally enjoyed with some beautiful red wine.
Lorraine, I would love to win a box of Patrice Newell’s Premium Garlic. My grandfather is Chinese and when I had a very bad flu he instructed my friend to make me a sandwich with one hole knob of garlic, to put parsley in the filling and to make me eat it. Being the good grand daughter I did as I was told the next day there was no sign of the flu. So garlic is King in this household. Pamela
I would have great enjoyment pickling and preserving it for Xmas pressies for friends !!
The taste, the aroma, the smell in the air.
A perfect sensation I’m willing to share.
So come to my house and share in my dinner, please deliver the garlic and I’l be a winner.
Organic fresh Australian garlic would be fabulous to enjoy in a great range of cooking creations, with the added bonus of warding off potential TWIHARDS who come to my house and want to talk about the Twilight series.
An aromatic heaven that’s delivered to my door. The endless possibilities sends shivers to my core. A gastronomic garlic fest for days or even more.
Yum!!! How great is that! We used to grow our own garlic and I used to love looking at it all strunt together hanging from the boards under the house. It would be so awesome to receive some of this beautiful garlic.
Kind Regards,
Michelle.
Oh garlic how I love you
especially delivered to my door!
All gift wrapped in special straw with love – my door is number 4
Home delivery would be a treat.
Using a whole box full, no easy feat.
Luckily I love garlic bread.
This should keep me well fed!
I would be thrilled to see this delivered to my door because I know that it is Australian Garlic grown here in our country with the most wonderful aroma and taste!
would so love to win this! cook with garlic every night. would love to take the box up to school and share with all the mums.
Just to marvel at the colour of beautiful fresh Australian garlic is a treat. The taste I’m sure would match it’s beauty. I’d be a cooking hero – all thanks to magnificent Australian Organic Garlic.
Our family uses garlic like most would use tomato sauce… In everything! I’d love to finally deduce for myself the difference between organic and store bought. The pungent aroma beckons to me…
the most exciting thing would be looking at my neighbours or the postman curious stare at the fact that garlic can be delivered!
The most exciting thing about getting a box of garlic delivered to my home is to surprise my boyfirend, as he always complains about certain garlics sold in supermarkets or fruit & vegetables markets.
Garlic doorstep-delivered from Newell,
Gastronomic and cultivar jewel!
Such joy for the palate,
So essential in salad!
Take a bow, dear Patrice, while we drool…
The best thing about a box of sublime Patrice Newell garlic delivered to my doorstep just after I arrive from study abroad is that my swain will swoon … it will be the next best thing in his life besides my return!
I love garlic and usually put it in everything! I know a person can have the smell ooze out of their pores after awhile, but thankfully, no one has accused me of that yet! I found your blog very interesting regarding the different types of garlic, and since we moved, we will have room for a garden. So I am definitely adding garlic to the list of plants grown this year! Also, all the herbicides and fungicides – something I had not even considered before. Another gradual adjustment to 100% natural/organic food.
And, yes, I agree – large garlic cloves make much more sense than having to defrock the smaller time-consuming cloves. Definitely a plus!
Thanks for this great offer – would love to try them, and especially for free!
Imagining all the slow-cooked recipe using the fresh unique garlic. There is no feeling of being warm and loved as that!
I love garlic and use it in everything I cook (except most deserts of course). I would love to try this garlic as it sounds delicious.
My wife always cooks with lots of garlic and I love her cooking, but this could make it even better – real fresh garlic.
With such magic that Patrice weaves in the garden; perhaps she may have infused special powers upon the garlic. ‘Out of the Box’ gourmet creations.
My 4 year old has shown a very keen interest in learning to cook and ADORES everything garlic. He would be very very excited if this ‘parcel’ arrived for him as well as encouraging his newly found passion for all things culinary!
I love to cook, and use a lot of herbs especially garlic. So I would love to have a box of garlic.
Hi Lorraine, I’m currently purple with envy reading your latest adventures in Melbourne, rubbing shoulders with Nigella Lawson, so the thought of receiving a box of purple Patrice Newell garlic would make me feel a whole lot better! It’ll take my mind off those purplish thoughts so I can focus my energy in the kitchen, trying out your Purple Potato Salad recipe. Though your recipe doesn’t feature garlic, I think a bit of smoked Patrice Newell garlic would add a bit of oomph to this very colorful recipe. Please give me your purple seal of approval if you think my idea is good, I really do appreciate the feedback.
Looking forward to more delicious stories from you from the food capital of Australia…
The most exciting thing about getting fresh garlic delivered would be that we don’t have to check any labels. My daughter suffers from a severe allergy to peanuts & we have been having to buy garlic from china. The Australian crushed garlic now contain a ‘may contain peanuts’ warning on the label. We love garlic but don’t love the difficulties we face buying it.
I thought this was a great and informative post. I had no idea about this information and as a naturopath in training it is of great interest to me.
I would be so exciting to recieve this so I can taste the different in this australia grown garlic compared to what im used to. I am also excited to add the better garlics nutrients to my diet
If you’ve a cold inside your nose
find a place where Garlic grows
With onions, simmered in a pot
Drink it while it’s nice and hot
If you partake of this fine soup
You will no longer feel like poop
Believe me for I know quite well
There’s more to Garlic then the smell
Besides the obvious of not having to leave home to get the best garlic.
What excites me most is hearing my partner sing in the kitchen as he happily enjoys whipping up a batch of his delicious chicken and chinese vegetable pies with loads of super healthy purple garlic , the aromas filling our home and tantalising the taste buds .
Hiya,
It’d be like getting a Christmas or Birthday present at your door. To see those gorgeous, purpley gems staring back at you, knowing that they will enhance and enrich your dishes by a mile and of course their health benefits which speak for themselves. Plus I love the idea that it’s real and from oz.
It will add the most beautiful flavour to our food, keep us healthy all winter and will keep those pesky vampires at bay…
My life needs a complete makeover
No more sugar, fat, stay sober!
Mind and body has too much weight
Need to de-stress, exercise and meditate?
Garlic has herbal remedies linked to all sorts of dieases
Reducing heart disease, cough colds and sneezes.
Receiving a box will add bite to my food
Thanks Patricia,best of all, my health will be renewed!
Knowing what a smile my mum would have on her face when she sees these beautiful garlics she would be abled to make wonders with them!
Thinking of all the great dishes I can cook while the garlic is still fresh.
I am a huge garlic fan and just love the fact Patrice Newell doesn’t use chemicals or pesticides. If a box of garlic turns up on my door I will be do excited about cooking something for my family to adore!
Mamma mia! Ehhhh! What is cooking without garlic. Health packed and adds flavour, flavour, flavour!
Cracking the box open and seeing all those heads sitting there with beautiful big streaks of purple. The possibilities! Better not wrap these ones up in my socks when I catch the flu!
