Oh Uni, I just use loads of garlic!  It is sacred and one cannot have too much of the stuff.  Dede, just use loads of it - it is so healthy and tasty.  When I was weaning DD (3-4 months), she spat out baby food, and the only thing she liked was mashed banana with garlic sausage.
I did see a quote once re garlic 'Tis chic to reek'  and I agree lol!

Hi JB...this looks really good. Have you tired it yet? I might try tonight. We're always trying to lose weight :-)).  Love your sauce fascination. I'm right into them too....which is why we need to lose weight!

Not tried this yet, but hope to make all the untested recipes at some stage/  The reason I have added so many sauces is that one book I have is devoted to them and nothing else and I still have to finish the other two books which contain all sorts.  Sauces and soups just happened to come at the beginning of them and I still have to work my way through the rest of the books.  Still, I love a good sauce too ...
