“A wonderful course! Kirsten, thank you so much for this course. It is exactly what I have been looking for. Every year I seem to have a glut of garlic and am never sure what to do with it, but now I know! The garlic paste has already become a firm favorite but the star of the course, has to be the black garlic. What an amazing taste! Thank you again.”
