Why it Works

Garlic contains compounds that enhance dopamine transmission, while butter adds fat that helps balance blood sugar. Together, they create a rich, warming base that hits hard on flavour and keeps you satisfied. The sensory reward — aroma, sizzle, melt — is instant dopamine.

    Things to know

  • Garlic butter is rich, so pair it with lighter, fibrous ingredients like greens or legumes to balance it.
  • It can brown quickly — add towards the end of cooking or let it melt over hot food instead of cooking it directly.
