when you say 2 heads of garlic. do you mean 2 cloves or 2 bulbs? 2 bulbs sound strong

You can use that much if you don't peel them. Roasting the garlic in this way makes them sweet and delicious.

Hi chick, thanks for the compliment. Course you can come to dinner, but I am just going out for a curry

ha ha very funny, but why go out for a curry when your such a fab cook? hang on suppose its cooks night off!! im loving these easy soup recipes too. i was put off years ago when i made the most revolting carrot and coriander soup. something went wrong and it was gross. but im now willing to start again. the pumpkin soup was fab but now out of season!
