Spring is here and the steady stream of fresh produce arriving into your local market is about to begin. Some of the first vegetables of spring include artichokes. Artichokes are very healthy, plus peeling off petals while dipping them and scraping them against your teeth make artichokes fun to eat for the whole family.

Artichokes are an excellent source of potassium and magnesium—they are also a good source of folic acid. Here are a few pointers on picking, storing and preparing the freshest and the best tasting artichokes of the season.

I made this roast last year for Easter Sunday dinner. I had intended on cooking lamb, but at the butcher they would only sell me a minimum of half a leg, which was just too much for four people. So, seeing the pork loin, I decided to go with that.
