About Garlic & Onion
Pull a bulb of garlic apart and the kitchen already smells like dinner. Onions, golden, white, red, or sweet, soften in the pan until they turn translucent, then amber, filling the whole house with a scent that says something good is coming. Shallots bring a milder, almost wine-like warmth, chives arrive fresh and green at the very end, and together these humble alliums form the quiet foundation beneath countless beloved recipes.
