Recipe: Bagna Cauda (Garlic dip)
Sauces, dressings and dips with herbs
June 01, 2009
Bagna Cauda is a traditional recipe from Piedmont, an italian region.
It's a garlic dip, served hot with fresh vegetables... but words can't really explain it!
The only secret is: don't let the amount of garlic scare you! As a piedmontese friend of mine said once: after you eat Bagna Cauda, you will kill a vampire with each breath.
