How this fleeting spring ingredient connects me to place, memory, and the rhythm of the seasons—plus two dozen recipes to make the most of it in the kitchen
So many great ideas here! I’ve already earmarked a few to try (though realistically I’ll probably start with the salt and butter, and then dream about nailing the soufflé at a later date).
1. Gently cut or tear the leaves and flower stems; don't pull the plants up, so the bulbs don't get damaged and they will grow again next year;
2. Take only what you need, being mindful of not over-harvesting a precious resource. It is only renewable if enough is left in each spot to continue growing. Otherwise nettles and other more hardy plants take over.

I have a very small patch of wild garlic now growing in my garden. It’s great when I am too busy to get to a local foraging wood. Thanks for the recipes. I shall be trying them all. Xx
