We are breaking down the beautiful and defensive artichoke. Gretchen walks Becca through cleaning, preparing, and finally steaming our artichokes and we have to improvise a bit with Becca's steamer situation. Our dear friend Marcella Hazan makes an appearance through her Ingredient book and G ponders if there's a way she herself is the reincarnation of Marcella lol. It's another adventure this time with flower bud.
