From Gilroy, California to the Basque region in Spain, people throughout the world are gathering in growing numbers to celebrate one of the World's Most Potent and Flavorful Herbs: Garlic.

Garlactica 2008 was the First Annual Sandhill Farms Garlic Festival.  It was a full moon event organized to celebrate and honor Garlic in the mountains of northern Utah.

Combining food, live music and an artist for a unique Experience.

The Cooking Delight Experience is a cooking presentation combined with live music and an artist. It is designed to teach people cooking skills, tips and original recipes in a unique and entertaining fashion; to inspire to "Be an Artist in Your Kitchen". Each artist paints an image that represents and exemplifies the sights, smells and tastes that inspires them during the event. We get to see the final painting at the end. A musician adds fun to an upbeat ambience!

Jennifer Burns is a Valley resident that is pushing the boundries of the ultimate dining experience.  Stay tuned to OgdenValleyMagazine.com as we will be bringing you the complete mouth watering experience via video and photos on September 4th, 2007.
