The Kitchen Garden sent me some artichokes today called Imperial Star Artichokes. Apparently you can grow them as an annual in New England. They have really thick leaves and a slightly smaller heart with less choke to worry about. If you have never had a fresh-picked artichoke, and are an artichoke enthusiast, you are missing out. They are so intensely artichokey with a really nice sweetness, a sweetness I think gets lost when they have to travel so far. I am not sure if they are selling them at their farmer's markets but definitely worth a trip if they are. Here is the website of our favorite farm...
