About

I am a big fan of wild garlic; it is so powerful and aromatic but not so pungent on the palate when cooked. You can imagine that when I first moved to the UK years ago and I found out that wild garlic (aka ramson) grows freely along many countryside roads... my mind was blown! To make the best out of the short wild garlic season, I experiment with as many recipes as possible, and this is one of my favourites.
