For garlic lovers

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.
