    "Irresistible, easy and quick! I did add a little more flour because the patties were too smooth, served with natural yogurt seasoned with ground coriander. "

    "Oh it's very easy: just snap off the outer leaves until you get to the lighter and tender ones. Medium and large artichokes also have a hairy "choke" that needs to be removed, cut these artichokes in half and scoop out the "choke" with a spoon or a knife. When making cuts to artichokes either rub the portion with a lemon, or throw the pieces in acidulated water to keep the cuts from turning brown or black."

    "Hi Phanette, you can make the same tart using a custard instead of mascarpone, cover with strawberries and sprinkle with icing sugar (just before serving). "

    "Made them today. I used plain yoghurt instead of buttermilk, but my muffins didn't turn out so well, they sticked on the paper cases and I wonder why...!"
