Carciofi: artichokes! Beautiful and abundant at this time of year in Italy, and so many varieties, from tiny ones without chokes, to these large purple globe artichokes we found in the market in Orvietto; you can slice them fresh and have them raw in salads, fry them in olive oil and add parmiggiano, boil them with butter and lemon juice, or just admire their beauty!

Artichokes are definitely one of the loveliest veggies out there :)
As an American living in Calabria for the past five years, I'm happy to have found your blog; I look forward to reading more of your observations!
