What to do with all those artichoke leaves?
I'm cooking artichoke hearts today, but always despair all the leaves that I have to compost. I'm thinking of making an artichoke soup by soaking the leaves but does anyone else have a good solutio...

mirasingh I've heard you can steam them with herbs and butter - any herbs if you have some lying around. I also just came across this thread on @food52...

"“Listen up brunch restaurants! I want to see more vegetables on your menu so I can have a breakfast like this. Eggs and veggies. #veggiesforbreakfast…”"

Imagine if every roof should have a food garden by law?

"A new law recently passed in France mandates that all new buildings that are built in commercial zones in France must be partially covered in either plants"

DietID_TeamDietitians I wish this were the case in NY! So many rooftops!

Definitely going to miss my root veggies this fall, but looking forward to seeing more tomatoes. What seasonal dishes are you going to miss making? #FoodRevolution

annefood OMG those look amazing!
