Surely no herb inspires more love – or loathing – than garlic. With its pungent flavour and indisputable medicinal properties, the ‘stinking rose’ has a long and illustrious history as both culinary ingredient and popular heal-all. Incredibly versatile in the kitchen, garlic makes an indispensable contribution to a huge number of national cuisines; Indian, Chinese and French to name but a few. Long shunned by English cooks, garlic’s popularity in recent decades has risen to such heights that it is now considered an essential store cupboard item.

The centerpiece of this book is Edomae-zushi, the delicate, natural, fresh variety first made in Tokyo in the early nineteenth century and now popular throughout the world.
