A Book on Garlic Wouldn't Stink
Drive-Thru contributor Alan Lake is an expert on garlic. He's won the Delray Beach Garlic Festival's Professional Chef's Competition three times and has gone on to become a judge. In his 30 years as a professional chef, Lake's done quite a bit of cooking with the stinking rose, and decided to write a book examining 10,000 years of historical facts, fiction, folklore, myths and legends, along with a considerable number of recipes and professional tips to taming this culinary beast.
Today he launched a crowdfunding campaign on Pubslush.com in an effort to make the book become a reality. In true crowdfunding fashion, the rewards for pledges run from a thank you card and recipe up to a home-cooked dinner for 10 people.
