Usine Creative Cooking & Eating in a Garlic Free Zone: Delicious food for we who

I love my food. The choice between bland and bloating is not one Im prepared to make. Over the last 20+ years, I have found, through research and experimentation, garlic substitutes that allow the garlic intolerant and those who dislike garlic to create and enjoy delicious, creative, yummy food.

Not that I dont like garlic. I do. I love it. Unfortunately, it doesnt love me. Any hint of garlic suffices to send me bolting to the bathroom with stomach cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. My body is intolerant of garlic in any form, whole, crushed, sliced, diced, powdered, and crystallised. There are millions like me all around the world, some also intolerant of onion. The only way for us to avoid illness is to avoid garlic and often the rest of the onion family, in any form. There are millions of other foodies who simply dont like garlic, and choose not to eat it.
