Garlic Guru has something for everyone, I’ve bought something every time I’ve visited the Farmers Market and I’ve never been disappointed!  The Red Pepper Hummus is my favourite snack to take home, and the quinoa salads are amazing! Great vegetarian options that I love even if I’m not a vegetarian!

Thanks to everyone that came out to celebrate our 1st Birthday.  It was a pleasure meeting many new and familiar faces to the Farmers Market.

It was great to see so many of you enjoying my new creation – Exotic Mushroom and Walnut Pate.  This will be a regular item on the menu.

The winners of the draws from the Garlic Guru Booth will be notified next week via phone or email.

This is the front entrance to the Saskatoon Farmers Market.

Teresa took the opportunity to work with some of the Garlic Guru’s wonderful neighbours at the Saskatoon Farmers Market to also raise money and awareness for the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Canadian Celiac Association.

The fair was held on December 5th, attracting over 150 people.

The Garlic Guru thanks all who attended and is already preparing for the next Gluten-Free Food Fair.

If you provide food or other products and services of particular value to people with low tolerance to gluten, you are invited to contact the Garlic Guru for information on participating in the fair.

But something shocking has happened.

I attended the Grand Opening of the Garlic Guru in the Farmers Market because it was started by someone I know. I purchased a quart each of the Spicy Pumpkin, the potato and sun dried tomato soups.

I took them home expecting to eat them later in the evening. The time was shortly after 2:00 in the afternoon.

I couldn’t resist so instead of waiting I opened the spicy the pumpkin as it was still piping hot.

This simple act changed my life.

The taste of this soup cannot be adequately described. It is one of those rare and precious things that must be experienced to be understood.

While words are inadequate,I hereby do my best: The soup is sensuous in every meaning of that word. The textures of silk and feathers enrapture your tongue. The symphony of flavours confound your senses in a way that is at once arousing and comforting. There is a sweetness presumably associated with the pumpkin and a powerful-bodied presence from the garlic. But there are other flavours in this soup and I am no food connoisseur. I have not the skills to identity what all of the elements may be, but only the ability to report what orchestra was playing over my tongue, into my nose and continued as the warmth found its way to my belly.

This soup is what the ancients were describing when they spoke of the “food of the gods.”

If you do not try at least one bowl of this soup before you die, you will have lived an impoverished life, devoid of the most physical, spiritual encounter with food.

Forget that it is healthy; forget that it has all organic ingredients and is served with 60-day biodegrading cutlery. Fie on the planet and the health. Run, don’t walk to Garlic Guru because it tastes absolutely fantastic!

So how has it change my life?

The Farmers Market is only open until 2:00 in the afternoon on Saturdays. To get my fix of spicy pumpkin, I have had to adjust to eating earlier in the day, one might say “lunch.”

The potato soup is worth writing home about too. But at this moment I am obsessed with spicy pumpkin.
