Substituting fresh garlic for powder is a tiny risk with a huge reward. You might mess up the first time (maybe too much garlic or not enough), but that’s how you learn. It’s like learning to ride a bike—wobbly at first, then freeing.
So next time a recipe calls for a teaspoon of garlic powder and you only have a bulb of fresh? Go for it. Crush a clove, smell your fingers, and feel like a kitchen rebel. You’ve got this.
