Awesome! Explained and displayed everything. Great teacher, brilliant instructional technique and making a stock from choke and leaves.... amazing - a girl after my own heart. You could easily have your own book/show/DVD. Thanks for your wisdom

Im gonna give this a try when I get back from Afghanistan! Hey, if I were going to put this on a pizza, do you think I should steam them first or would the oven tebderize them enough? I know its a non-related question ;)

[cookingupastory]

@papistoso Are you thinking of adding the artichoke heart to your pizza? I would think you would steam them first.

thank you soooo much! here in Perú we have really delicious artichokes but I never dare to buy some because I didn't know how to prep them...so easy! You REALLY have a heart for cooking, God bless you!

[OlivierMyre88]

This video is taking way to long to tell how to prep an artichoke. I want to learn how to do it already, not waste time listening about compost, flowers, etc.

Fantastic! Very helpful! Thank you.

I have heard its the heart of the artichoke that is actually the real delicacy to eat.

[EZBreezy187]

@Introspective91 no artichokes are not a type of armadillo; they do however have hearts just like any other cute little critter. Can you imagine the trauma each poor little artichoke feels as you tear away its skin, and rip out its heart?! Sometimes I can hear their silent screams echo in my ears... they say "please, dont eat us!" and with a tear in my eye, I say "Im sorry! your just too delicious!!"

So, this is how you prepare a smarty-coke, a potty-smoke, an okee-doke, uh, a feathered apple.
