It's artichoke season. YEAH! I've been waiting all year for this, as artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables. But wait... are they really vegetables? Technically yes, but many people don't know that the parts of the artichoke plant we eat are basically immature flowers. Here is a photo of a fully developed artichoke flower I've taken in our vegetable gardens. Striking isn't it? Well they are as good looking as they are delicious so this month I've shared a recipe with Marin Magazine for a baby artichoke salad. Go ahead and give it a try, it's real simple, and remember, as in any recipes the most important part are the ingredients. When the ingredients are good all we have to do, as cooks, is make them fully express themselves with great respect. Salute!
