Although they share a common name, globe artichokes and Jerusalem artichokes are quite different plants. Jerusalem artichoke is native to North America and is a part of the sunflower family of plants. The tuber of the Jerusalem artichoke grows up to 10 centimetres long and four to five centimetres thick. Sometime during the 17th century, the Jerusalem artichoke made its way to Europe and it has been popular there ever since, especially in France, and in fact it won the title “best soup vegetable” in the 2002 Nice Festival for the Heritage of the French Cuisine.
Globe artichoke is like a thistle and has a long history of use as a culinary delicacy and a useful medicine. Unlike the Jerusalem artichoke, it is the lower part of the bud of the plant known as the “heart” that is eaten. The miniature florets at the top of the bud are attractive but not edible.

Pies are a piece of gastronomic brilliance: a filling with a case and lid you can eat is food genius. The first pies date back to Egyptian times and there is a recipe for chicken pie that was carved into stone more than 4000 years ago. For millennia, however, the pie casing was mostly used to cook the filling, but for around 500 years or more we have been eating the pie crust too.
