"You can use up to 100 cloves"

 

You would need fingers like Glenn Gould to peel all of that...

for that kind of recipe, just buy the jarred prepealed cloves 

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I've used those...they aren't as pungent, but I guess you could just raise the bar a bit and throw in say 150.

If I told my wife to wait while I peeled 40 cloves of garlic, we'd be ordering pizza

Break head into cloves, put in a big bowl, cover, shake like hell.

I've made Alton Brown's "40 cloves and a chicken" recipe, very easy, very tasty.

And the garlic trick works great.

Bavarian Chef. Go there. Feast. Thank me later.

Noma in Copenhagen has been named the best of the best, taking the No. 1 slot in the prestigious San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards, produced by Restaurant magazine.

Of the 50 top restaurants, 28 are in Europe. But seven are right here in America, most of them nearby in New York.

Bostonians visiting New York who want to dine at the best should make reservations at Eleven Madison Park (No. 4), Le Bernardin (No. 21), Per Se (No. 30), or Daniel (No. 40).
 
If you are traveling to Chicago, you can dine at Alinea, which is No. 9 on the list. And California has two of the top 50 restaurants— French Laundry (No. 44) and Coi (No. 49).

Other restaurants in the top 10 besides Noma, Eleven Madison Park, and Alinea, include El Celler de Can Roca, Mugartiz, and Arzak, all in Spain, Osteria Francescana in Italy, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and The Ledbury, both in London, and D.O.M. in Brazil.

I have been addicted to garlic since I was a kid and have never, ever heard of that trick

I've made Alton Brown's "40 cloves and a chicken" recipe, very easy, very tasty.

Wow. I will have to try that. Never heard of that, and peeling garlic drives me nuts.

Regarding 40 cloves and a chicken, I have a seafood cookbook that has a recipe for tuna steak with 40 cloves of garlic. I'd like to try it sometime but Ms1995hoo has no interest, so perhaps I will try it in July when she is out of town for a high school reunion.

You shouldn't mix butter and oil. Pick one and go with it

[Mathguy]

Blue - they aren't mixed.  Butter for the recipe and olive oil to help the grilling

Step 4 says to drizzle with oil.

I'm going to Copenhagen next week. But I don't have $500 for dinner at Noma. Maybe a Kickstarter is in order?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I'll chip in but you have to nick me a set of their table service.

[HalfSmokes]

If you can get a reservation a week out I'll chip in (I don't know if Abe Froman would have enough clout to get you in, but maybe worth a try)

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

That place is probably booked out for the next 5 years.  I guess you could try booking as "V. Putin" or "I. Bergman".
