The Science of Garlic and How to Make the Best Garlic Bread | Garlic Bread | What's Eating Dan?

(music)

Remember Alice in Wonderland
when Alice eats a cookie

and grows by the size of a house?

And then she eats a little piece of carrot
and shrinks to about three inches tall.

Finally, she gets her hand on a mushroom,

eats a little bit of that,
and comes back to her normal size.

Well, that --

That's garlic flavor.

Stick with me here.

Garlic flavor can be huge
and overpowering.

It can also be tiny and muted,

but with careful calibration,

it can be just right.

As cooks, we hold all of the power
of the garlic flavor.

Power is great, but only
if you know how to yield it.
