Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers

Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers

7.5 | 1980-10-12 | Documentary

A zesty paean of praise to the greater glories of garlic. This lip-smacking foray into the history, consumption, cultivation and culinary/curative powers of the stinking rose features chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, and a flavorful musical soundtrack. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 1999.
