• When a recipe calls for a "clove" of garlic, that's a single piece from the "bulb" or "head," which is made up of many cloves.
• Usually cloves need to be peeled; the fastest way to do this is to lay the flat side of a knife blade or your palm on it and smack it to pop the skin so it's easy to peel.
• As garlic ages, green sprouts grow out of the center of the cloves.  These are fine to eat, but they're extra pungent.
• When cooking garlic, be careful not to burn it; burnt garlic has a really bitter taste.
• To clean your hands of the garlic smell, rub them against some stainless steel, like your sink basin.
