Yes, the preparation of garlic makes a difference to the flavour. Cooked whole, especially over a long period in the oven or in a sauce or stew, garlic will have a mild, sometimes slightly sweet, flavour and a buttery texture.

Chopped or crushed, the flavour is much stronger, especially if cooked quickly, for example by frying.

Garlic cooked whole in a sauce or stew may be removed when the dish is nearly finished and squished against your stirrer with a fork: it will very quickly become a puree which can be stirred back into the sauce. This thickens the sauce slightly. If cooking garlic in this way you can use at least twice the amount you'd normally use if chopping or crushing.

To bake garlic you can cook whole heads at a time without peeling. Put each head of garlic onto a square of aluminum foil or in a small ovenproof dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap the foil around it or cover the dish and bake at 180C (350F) for about thirty minutes or until very soft inside. To serve, take a clove and squeeze the soft, buttery garlic out onto bread or crackers, or on the side of individual serves of casserole or soup. You can put the garlic in the centre of your table so guests can help themselves.

Where did Garlic powder come from?

Garlic powder is dried garlic that has been finely diced to create a powdered form. It should not be confused with garlic salt, which is a combination of garlicpowder and table salt. You'll find garlic powder in the spice section, and some cooks advocate using it in place of fresh garlic. Other cooks like the taste ofgarlic powder but find that the taste is different than fresh garlic, not as sharp and somewhat sweeter. If you're out of fresh garlic, a powdered form can be a good substitute though the taste may be slightly different.

Can you substitute store bought crushed or chopped garlic for minced garlic?

You can't substitute garlic. It's a cornerstone of cooking. If a recipe calls for garlic and you haven't any, either rush out and get some or suffer a severe lack of flavor. . .Actually, in Indian cooking, garlic is never used. Asafoetida (also known as "hing" is the substitute. As well, with experimentation, one can find all sorts of flavours which simply train our normally "rigid" tastes to like/love something else. There are many folks alergic to garlic, yet they find ways to expand their palates in other ways and, once it's not being eaten for awhile, garlic is not missed nor is there a "severe" lack of flavour.
