I have to admit, I am such a huge fan of the process of eating artichokes, that I cannot stomach a recipe that tells you to get rid of the outer leaves! I snip off the prickles, steam them whole, and we dip them in garlic butter or dill dip. My kids love them!I may try your method as a sauce on already made artichokes...Am I really missing something?

How weird, Nikki! I’m so sorry about that! I wonder if you maybe didn’t cook them long enough? Were they good and tender when you tasted them? Raw artichokes can taste very bitter. That’s the only thing I can think of…

I’ve been dreaming about this recipe all day, so I picked up some baby artichokes at trader joes. It smelled wonderful while it simmered on the stove, I couldn’t wait! But they turned out bitter, I couldn’t even swallow them! Do you think it was the artichokes?? I’m trying another batch next week!

I absolutely love this column, but Molly, I wish you could experience autumn on the East Coast! I live in Virginia and fall is my favorite season. The weather is crisp and dry and glorious here. I just got back from a wedding in upstate New York and it was much the same. We reveled in the local apple harvest and a joyous area “pumpkinfest.” If you live out East, this season is something to look forward to eagerly, not dread!

P.G Wodehouse is one of my all time favourite authors. I loved the TV series of Jeeves and Wooster too – have you ever seen it? With Stephen Fry, it’s wonderful. Also, I actually love preparing globe artichokes, I love it when they are young and you cut them open and they are tinged with purple.
