Q: I hope you can help me locate this handy and terrific frozen garlic. I can’t remember where I originally got it, and since then, my search has come up empty. The closest I came was Whole Foods. The person I spoke with recognized it but said they didn’t have it. Thanks very much. — Deb Milbrath, Atlanta

A: Good news, Deb. You’ll find Dorot Gardens frozen garlic cubes among the frozen vegetable section of Trader Joe’s, 3183 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-842-0907. A package of 16 cubes (each cube equals one garlic clove) costs $2.49. The flash-frozen garlic cubes have a shelf life of two years.
Q: I enjoy reading Buyer’s Edge and have obtained great ideas from your column. Now I need your help. I recently received access to recorded music from my deceased uncle, who had a singing career in NYC in the ‘70s. The music is on reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. Our family wants to preserve this music as part of our history. Is there a business in the Atlanta area that provides this service to retail customers? Thank you. Leslie Smith, Decatur

Q: I need a small amount — a couple of tablespoons or so — of Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a recipe. Much more than that will go to waste. Any suggestions? Thank you. — B. Williams, email
A: Dutched cocoa processed with alkali produces a mild, smooth chocolate flavor in baked goods. Penzeys, 6269 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs, 404-256-7970, stocks Dutch-process cocoa powder in various sizes. The smallest amount comes in a half-cup jar for $6.69.
