- Description
- While the world may be a "great big onion" nothing divides us quite like garlic. In the edition of ever wondered about food chef Paul Merrett discovers that why the onion caused the first strike in recorded history, how garlic has been used for centuries as a cure all, that some even believed had aphrodisiac properties and why our changing taste is impacting on how our favourite vegetables are grown. He’ll also find out how onions are being used in break-through cancer research and why garlic truly has medicinal properties after all; for this stinking bulb could help cut heart disease.
But if all you love is the taste then he’ll be showing you how to make a traditional French onion soup, the perfect steak dinner with onion jam and a really, quick and easy garlic bread.
