It’s soup season.
My favourite recipe is for the all purpose Tomato Soup which also serves well as a sauce for pasta and pizza.
It’s easy to make but requries lots of garlic and I’ve never been keen on the fiddly business of getting the clove out of its papery skin.
However, I’ve no excuses now that I’ve acquired a silicone garlic peeler.
I’m wary about wonder gadgets but this one really is as good as its promise.
You simply put the clove in the tube, roll it on the bench and voila the skin comes off – no fiddling, no smelly hands, just naked garlic, ready to be sautéed.

Ok this sounds better than smashing the clove with the back of a knife and painstakingly picking out the skin out of the mess
So where can you buy this gadget?

I top and tail and then smash lightly, but it’s fiddly. And I love garlic, especially lots of whole cloves in a tray of roast vegies.

I bought mine at a gift shop in Parnell Rd – can’t remember it’s name but it’s one of the first shops you come to on the right hand side going up.
It’s made by Zeal and has an email address on the package: zeal@cks.uk.net
