Tip of the Day: Preparing artichokes

Artichokes can be scary at first, but here's how to prepare them.

I'm not sure why, but when I first came across artichokes I was really scared of them. They were so foreign and seemed so difficult to prepare. Really, though, they're not that bad, and it only takes a little bit of work to get them ready to cook.

First, cut off about an inch of the top and the stem. Next use scissors to snip off the top of each of the leaves. Then all you have to do is dip them in lemon water to prevent browning. You can go here for instructions and various cooking methods for artichokes.

You can also find recipes for artichokes here and here. Remember, you don't have to be afraid of artichokes. They're easy and delicious!
