Why is garlic good for you?

Garlic is a herb that’s been enjoyed in cooking for thousands of years and used medicinally too. Today, it’s classed as a superfood, with research suggesting that if garlic is consumed regularly it could help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol, decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and boost the immune system.

Ready, steady, cook!

Without further ado, here are 7 simple but tasty recipes which all share one common ingredient- garlic!
