Classic Garlic and Tomato Soup

Grandmothers often said garlic was good for what ails you, and we now know they were right. This tomato-garlic soup uses 10 cloves, but because garlic mellows as it cooks, it has a mild, slightly sweet flavour.

Spicy Root Vegetable Salad

Select small beets with their greens still attached; they have the most flavour.
