a is for...

We're still mourning the end of asparagus season and my very favorite dinner, asparagus white pizza. But we seem to have lots of artichokes coming along in the next bed,

which makes me wonder if artichoke white pizza would be worth a go.

It'd be far more fiddly to prepare, but it just might tide us over till courgette white pizza time!

    Sounds yummy. I wouldn't know where to begin with preparing an artichoke but it certainly looks time-consuming!

    Oh aren't they beautiful? They always make me want to get the paints out, oh and the River Cafe cookbook.

    I love artichokes and have some ready to plant out - so maybe this time next year we'll have some too!

    Sicilian pizza with anchovies, olives and artichoke hearts is my absolute favourite and just thinking about it makes me feel hungry.

    Sculptural vegetables are the best. Five a day for the soul.

    The end of asparagus season always brings on a twinge of sadness in my household, too. Artichoke pizza sounds interesting, but a little labor-intensive!

    Oh, I do love a good f-artichoke (as my family calls them - they can be a killer when boiled and served with butter, followed by my mothers l'oignon du midi for main. I'm so impressed that you've grown them! Oh, to have a sunny plot! x

    Those artichokes are YOURS? Oh my; how lovely.

    I adore artichokes, but do nothing fancy with them . . . just give them a good boil and melt the butter.
