One of the foods that I miss so much is deep fried artichoke hearts...I would wait for the whole year and anticipate them...looking forward to the Santa Clara County Fair...now they have become part of my childhood summer memories. There is a recipe for fried artichoke hearts in this book; maybe one day I will try to make them - but I doubt very much they will be able to measure up against my boyhood standards.

This work is a small collection of recipes that use the various sections of the artichoke. There is a short description of how to clean the artichoke that would have been more helpful with some pictures or illustrations.

I have yet to successfully cook an artichoke.
