From Tuscany’s Heart: A Peasant’s Garlic & Egg Drop Soup (Zuppa all’Aglio e Uova)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Broth
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté gently for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant, being careful not to let them brown. Pour in the broth, bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it infuse for about 15 minutes for the garlic flavor to meld with the liquid. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Toast the Bread
While the broth is simmering, toast the slices of rustic bread until they are golden brown and crisp. You can do this in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a dry pan. Place one slice of toasted bread at the bottom of each serving bowl.
3. Cook the Eggs
Bring the garlic broth back to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs one at a time directly into the simmering broth, spacing them out. Let them poach gently for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
4. Serve
Carefully ladle the hot broth into the bowls over the toasted bread. Gently place a poached egg in each bowl. Garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley, a good grating of Parmesan cheese, and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

Emerald Isle Eats: Creamy Irish Garlic & Cheese Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Prep the Oven and Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, Gas Mark 4). Peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandolin, a food processor, or a sharp knife.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, whipping cream, minced garlic, most of the cheddar cheese, and all of the Parmesan cheese. Season generously with 8-10 twists of freshly ground black pepper. Use a large spoon to mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the potato slices are well-coated.
3. Assemble the Bake
Transfer the creamy potato mixture into a 2-inch deep baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Gently press down on the potatoes to flatten the surface.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. About halfway through cooking (at the 30-minute mark), remove the dish and gently press the potatoes down again. This helps the cream bubble up over the top, keeping everything moist.
5. Serve and Enjoy
The dish is ready when the top is golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are tender. You can check for tenderness by inserting a knife; it should slide through easily. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot.

Bangkok Street Eats: Sizzling Garlic & Pepper Pork (Moo Tod Kratiem)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Create the Marinade Paste
In a mortar and pestle, pound the white peppercorns until they are fine. Add about one-third of the garlic cloves and the chopped cilantro stems, then pound into a fine paste.
2. Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, combine the sliced pork with the garlic-pepper paste, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix thoroughly with your hands until every piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Prepare the Crispy Garlic
While the pork is marinating, finely chop the remaining two-thirds of the garlic. Heat about an inch of oil in a wok or small pot over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic and fry, stirring constantly, until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Immediately remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
4. Fry the Pork
Add the cornstarch to the marinated pork and mix well until it forms a wet paste. Increase the heat to medium-high (about 375°F / 190°C). Fry the pork in small batches for 45-60 seconds, or just until the outside is lightly browned. Immediately separate the pieces as you drop them in to prevent sticking. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
5. Serve
Arrange the fried pork on a plate and generously sprinkle with the crispy fried garlic you prepared earlier. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately with hot jasmine rice.
