Log onto http://www.theartisan.net/TheArtisanMain.htm

Then type "artichokes" into the search engine about half way down the
page. About 20 artichoke recipes will be found. Many are for whole or
half small artichokes. (We too love the stems - but not the chokes. The
baby artichokes have little or no chokes.)
