Personal Journey

In The Artichoke Princess, Allison not only shares the fascinating history and health benefits of artichokes but also weaves in personal stories from her own life. Inspired by her grandfather, JL Debenedetti, her love for artichokes is deeply rooted in family traditions and childhood memories of walking through artichoke fields in California.
Allison’s book is not just a testament to the historical significance and health benefits of the artichoke, but also a tribute to her family’s legacy and the enduring bond between generations. Through her engaging storytelling, she invites readers to explore the world of artichokes, from their ancient origins to their place in modern cuisine.

The Artichoke Princess is set to be a must-read for food enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone interested in the remarkable journey of one of the world’s oldest cultivated vegetables.

Health Benefits of Artichokes

Artichokes are more than just a culinary delight; they are packed with health benefits. Here are some key highlights:

Rich in Nutrients

Artichokes are a great source of essential nutrients, including potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. They contribute to overall health by supporting bodily functions and improving digestive health.

Antioxidant Powerhouse

They are loaded with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals in the body. This can reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Digestive Benefits

The dietary fiber in artichokes promotes healthy digestion by preventing constipation and encouraging regular bowel movements. Additionally, they contain prebiotics, which support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

Liver Health

Artichokes contain cynarin and silymarin, compounds known for their liver-protective properties. These compounds aid in detoxifying the liver and promoting bile production, which is crucial for digestion and nutrient absorption.

Hi everyone, I am back from my long-overdue tech break!!!
I took some time to refresh and reboot. As a health practitioner, I highly recommend it to everyone. Sometimes, just going off-grid, focusing on personal health and wellness, and getting quiet is exactly what one needs. I traveled to Africa and then to Italy, visited family and friends, and did a lot of reading, writing, and research—all things that I love. So, hello to you all!
I look forward to re-engaging.

In health, Ali Q

Ladispoli, a comune (municipality) in the metropolitan city of Rome in the region of Lazio, just had their 71st Sagra Del Carciofo (aka Artichoke Festival) which I was thrilled to attend ! I was blessed to have met with Favio Camille and his lovely wife,Stefania Ligi. Favio’s family are third generation growers of the locally grown Carciofo Romanesco. Ladispoli is the sister city of Castroville, California our growing region in the US …. So, of course I had to come, see and taste for myself. All in the name of research ….. 😋yum ! #ladispoli #artichoke #carciofo #artichokefestival #sagradelcarciofo #artichokeseason #italianfood #foodwriter #carciofoallaromana #carciofoallagiudia #markettotable #farmtotable

If the walls could only speak of Hotel Locarno’s storied past. This isn’t just a five-star hotel (inaugurated in 1925). It’s a feeling unto itself. I was referred here because this place is known to inspire all kinds of creativity. If Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina were among the habitué and Jack Kerouac and Gregory Corso were known to have a warm seat at the bar, well then, this is the place for me. The hotel’s new owner, Maria Teresa Celli, when renovating, brought back to life the spirit of the 1920s ( I should have been alive !!! ), a time when Artists like Basquiat and Borges still meandered the storied halls. In the 90’s, Ms. Celli bought and connected the adjacent building, which seemed fitting since it was often chosen as the setting for theatre, movies, and theatrical performances. And, if writers and artists like Bernard Weber, Victor Cavallo, Alain Elkann, and Antonio Mega Ferreira (whose books were all titled “Hotel Locarno”) all launched here, then perhaps, so shall I. #goals #writer #inspiration #roma #ladolcevita #grateful #besthotelinrome #writersinspiration
