• La alcachofa es ante todo la expresión vegetal de la vida civilizada, de la visión a largo plazo, del placer creciente por anticipación y crescendo. No es de extrañar que antaño se la considerara afrodisíaca. No tenía cabida en el mundo de gratificación instantánea de los trolls. No apela a la mentalidad de carne y dos verduras.

• My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don't even know that there's something magical hidden at the base of it. There's a whole other side of me that people didn't know existed.

• The California I knew, old rancho California, is gone. It just doesn't exist, except maybe in little pockets. I lived on the edge of the Mojave Desert, an area that used to be farm country. There were all these fresh-produce stands with avocados and date palms. You could get a dozen artichokes for a buck or something. Totally wiped out now.

• El extremo cercano de la calle era más bien oscuro y tenía sobre todo tiendas de verduras. Abundancia de verduras: montones de hinojo blanco y verde, como el apio, y grandes gavillas de alcachofas jóvenes, violáceas, del color del polvo de mar. . . largas ristras de higos secos, montañas de grandes naranjas, pimientos grandes escarlata, una gran rodaja de calabaza, una gran masa de colores y frescura vegetal. . . .

• In a way, the more techniques you apply, the less important the ingredients are. It shouldn't be that way, but you can get away with it. But if you're highlighting this astounding artichoke, it's got to be an astounding artichoke.

• A white truffle, which elsewhere might sell for hundreds of dollars, seemed easier to come by than something fresh and green. What could be got from the woods was free and amounted to a diurnal dining diary that everyone kept in their heads. May was wild asparagus, arugula, and artichokes. June was wild lettuce and stinging nettles. July was cherries and wild strawberries. August was forest berries. September was porcini.

• Cuando mi madre me preparaba bocadillos para el colegio -calabacín y huevo, pimiento y huevo, todo era con huevo- el aceite goteaba de la bolsa. A ella no le importaba si yo perdía el bocadillo - ella quería esa bolsa marrón de vuelta. Solía darme bocadillos de alcachofas. No sabes lo vergonzoso que es sentarse en el patio del colegio a comer una alcachofa con un trozo de pan. Muchos niños no sabían lo que era, decían: ¡Mira a ese tío comiendo flores!

• She swallowed and looked down at the artichoke petals piled neatly on the side of her plate. Her center certainly felt like it was melting, growing soft and wet just from the rasp of Mr. O'Connor's voice. Why should a man already devilishly handsome also have a voice that could charm birds from the sky? It simply wasn't fair.
