Quantcast Vegetarian StarMeatless Mouthful: Christie Brinkley And Artichokes Go Way Back

Christie Brinkley Chairs the NOFA-NY Organic Food from Farm to Family Lunch

“For most of my life I’ve had a thing for the artichoke, because it was such an exciting vegetable. You could do so much with it. I first saw it on television, on “The Little Rascals.” I had my own artichoke plate, with a place for the heart to sit. To this day I still go crazy for them. But I also eat broccoli every day, it’s like taking a vitamin. And I like leafy green vegetables. But artichokes and I go way back.”
