FOOD: ART OF PREPARATION

Sep 9 2007 Michael Kilkie

There are two types of artichoke. Globe artichokes were used in today's recipe.

Preparing an artichoke is a tricky job and the beauty of using marinated artichokes is they've already been prepared.

You can buy baby artichokes raw but these are often the ones found marinated as they are smaller and more delicate.

The other type is a Jerusalem artichoke, a root vegetable good for making soups.
