I always make a beeline for the Brothers Products stand and grab some of my favorite dips, like the homemade “Kitchen Sink” hummus, an addictive blend of chickpeas, jalapeños, cilantro, artichokes and roasted red peppers. Once you’ve made your purchases, it’s always fun to stroll ...
Food choices are occasionally an issue at wine events and for the private drinker. I have attended several events (usually at prestige venues) where the accompanying canapés were lovely, but included high-risk items such as artichokes, horseradish and chilli pepper. But I was already struggling ...
Bodega Bay is another great stop along your drive. Bribe the kids with taffy from Patrick's Salt Water Taffy (pink building on the coastal side of Highway 1 in Bodega Bay) and then grab some fried artichokes with a gorgeous view atThe Birds Cafe. Stock up for your Mendocino visit with ...
Artichokes thrive in Rome’s climate, so they are very popular in the city. Two main recipes include them:Alla Giudia(Jewish-style above) andalla Romana(Roman-style). Don’t worry, you are allowed to prefer either without fear of reprisal, but the Jewish ones almost always come out t...
the restaurants along this busy street seem to struggle. We ate at the equally popularBa’Ghettoacross the street. The artichokes were fantastic, but the poor service left us with a bit of a sour taste – I wouldn’t go back. I’d say this applies to most of the “famou...

Remove the paella pan from the heat. Taste and add more salt if needed, but without stirring the rice and vegetables much. Scatter the tomatoes, artichokes, and fava beans over the rice, and cover the pan tightly with foil. Leave to rest for 10 minutes. ...
“Carciofi alla Romana,” artichokes stuffed with herbs and simmered in olive oil and water, and “Carciofi alla Giudia,” a specialty of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, where the artichokes are deep-fried to a crisp finish. You haven’t really tasted an artichoke until you’ve had one in Rome ...
Dan, still not convinced the water is warm enough to jump in. Our vote is for the south shore (Tamga and Kaji-Say beaches are recommended) as it's less crowded and without the big resorts, but if you want a taste of the Soviet-meets-Kyrgyz spa experience then give the north shore ...
Crystal clear water and fish along a snorkel on the Rio da Prata. The experience of a drift snorkel down a river, whereby you swim down the river with the satisfying assist of the current, is something remarkable. No video can do it justice, but we share our brief one as a taste. ...
