Food of the nobility
The artichoke is botanically a thistle – and was long regarded as a luxury vegetable. Catherine de' Medici brought the taste for it to the French court, where it was prized as a delicate rarity. The still-closed flower bud is harvested.
Cultivation & enjoyment
Artichokes need space, sun and a nutrient-rich soil. In mild locations they are perennial. The buds are cooked; the tender “heart” and the leaf bases are edible – an enjoyment with style.
