Artichokes!! You either love-em or you just haven’t had a great one yet. Let me help you get the most out of your chokes. Artichokes are an opportunity to be creative, and I have come up with literally hundreds of dishes utilizing this edible thistle. Drop me a line and we’ll share stories.

Ask the Chef

We at Ocean Mist Farms are proud of our Artichokes. When prepared correctly, they are without a doubt a delicious treat to share with family and friends. To state the obvious, Artichokes are not potatoes, and we get a lot of questions on the best way to prepare them. For that reason, we are dedicating this section of our Web site so you can “Ask the Chef!”

Montrio Bistro Logo

Ocean Mist Farms has partnered up with Montrio Bistro’s Executive Chef Tony Baker to answer your Artichoke questions. Chef Baker has been working professionally with Artichokes for almost 20 years and has developed hundreds of dishes – perfecting many different preparations and cooking techniques.

Featured Question
Q: I try hard to cook a tender artichoke. I follow the cooking directions to the letter. Bu,t results are not good. Only part that is tender is the heart. Very discouraging. Being a trans planted Bay Area person makes it all the worse since I can't find the fine produce from Ocean Mist. I have decided the problem is the artichockes that I find in the stores. they look old and funny. Tips of the leaves are brown. They just look old and dried out. Are your products distributed in Indiana?.
A: 
Hi Richard,

Many thanks for your question, sorry to here that you are having troubles.

I would suggest that you talk to the produce manager at your local store and give them hell!! 
Ocean Mist is in many national chains and it's very likely that your produce department has access to them if asked. 

It's sounds like you are well versed in cooking artichokes, but here is a link to some good info.

Happy Cooking,

Chef Tony Baker
