Look at these beautiful, large artichokes. They are a rainbow of colors and symbolize the start of the summer season. There are some special tricks I do with my artichokes. First, I learned to cut my artichokes to look presentable. I slice off the stem and the tops with a serrated knife. I then cut each outer leaf so that the sharp points are removed. Next, I add cut garlic cloves, lemons and salt to the water in which I boil my artichokes. And most importantly, I always enjoy my artichokes with a lemon mayonnaise. Being the gourmande I am, I sometimes think that artichokes might just be another vehicle for mayonnaise! Do I love the beautiful, green creation of nature? Or, do I love the white condiment that accompanies it?
