> Ratatouille:

Nice recipe. I would not add the garlic until close to the end of  
cooking. Overcooked garlic loses its flavor and, I suspect, some of  
its health-promoting properties.

We eat more garlic than most. Recipes that call for a few cloves get  
a full bulb's worth. I do a chicken pizza that uses roasted garlic. I  
use two bulbs on that. The trick is to slightly under-roast and to  
then let the bulbs cool so the skins can be removed without cooking  
one's fingers. The cloves are then cut into two or three chunks.  
Outstanding.
