In the past they were cut off and composted. Now we use them in a variety of recipes. Next time you go to a farmers market see if you can find some.

Good audio quality and good camera quality (as well as using different camera angles for different shoots, love those!), making all your cooking and guides very accessible.

Could you do a video talking about the different kinds, when to use them and how to choose at the store? That would be awesome. I could watch a good 15 minutes or more of Frank just opining about olive oil.

    Finally. 100 percent utilization of a food item is a thing now. Me being from a third world country, makes me so sick that culinary standard in the past that disregard the not so pretty parts of a food. I'm from a middle class family, and it *bothers me when I see other country's ways for example, a bruised banana. Okay. Homes turn them into bread but in supermarkets and high end places, bananas with bruises are thrown. 🥺 And some expats from our country says, there is some country that thinks that it is unhealthy to eat a bruised banana, they will get scolded by their employer if they consume one.

      good sentiment. But there's nobody getting scolded by their employer for eating bruised bananas -_- in "some country"? They're either lying to you, or overreacting to remarks. At most you'd get a weird look like "you're gonna eat thát?" But that's hardly "being scolded" I always eat my bananas when they're at least heavily dotted. Ocassionally I get a remark like "wow, you like them very ripe, huh?" It's perhaps a little more sugar, but eating únderripe bananas cán actually give you an upset stomach.

I grow garlic and Basil so I make mine a mix of the two. There are of course dozens of variations. Yours looks good too!

Another thing I did with it and that maybe some of you will like is garlic scape butter. Trow equal parts of garlic scape and room temperature butter with seasoning and lemon juice to your taste in the food processor, transform into a paste and store in the fridge. Amazing with bread, vegetables and baked potatoes. Thanks chef Frank for your videos. We love all of them.

    I personally have troubles with cooking Chinese-style stir fries at home. If you have any experience with those, could you perhaps make a video on how to do stir fries correctly? I think it would be a great idea, as that is a nice base skill to have, and one can make many different meals if they know the base ingredients and basic principles.

      Scape is the stem part you see in the center of a head of garlic. That green in the middle of a clove is a potential new scape if you were to propagate it. It's extremely bitter in old garlic, so it's better to discard it when you see one. In new summer garlic it tastes just fine.

    Also it depends of the growing area where the hardnecks are grown is when you see scapes. I live in the San Francisco Bay Aera & I harvested my garlic scapes in late April early May of this year
