I do the same with garlic. Usually two or three times of what the recipe says.

There is not a single reason in the world not to do so.

I do that! Recipes say “add one clove of garlic” I do at least 5. I swear recipes are written by vampires

I do the same because I love garlic too … unfortunately, this past winter, I discovered there is an upper limit to this ‘one neat trick’ … an entire head of raw garlic on a piece of toast is enough to wish you could physically remove your colon from own body for a few hours.

Raw garlic can overpower a dish. It’s a lot harder to do with cooked garlic, though (unless you burn it, at which point it’s not very pleasant in large quantities).
