I only tried using raw garlic one time and never again. It was in a
pesto whizzed up in the FP with the other ingredients. After that I'll
always cook the garlic first, even if it's roasted and cooled, which I
try to keep plenty of in the freezer for just such uses. Roasted garlic
also works well in a salad.

But even if you're cooking it, you have to get it out of the paper and
crush or chop it. For me I've never found a way to do those things
without getting the smell on my hands.
