Fried Artichokes were one of Michael’s favorite bar snacks when he was in law school. He recently decided to try making them at home and they were even better than he remembered. With a simple beer batter, these are ready in minutes. Try them the next time you need an hors d’oeuvre or snack.

Julie and Jay Hasson created Julie’s Original Gluten Free baking mixes because they know how much time and money is involved in gluten-free baking, not to mention all of the trial and error, as well as tracking down dozens of specialty flours. They’ve done all the hard work for us! With these mixes we can do what Julie and Jay like to call “modern scratch baking.”

3 Brothers Vegan Cafe is Long Island’s first and only 100% vegan restaurant. This addition to the 3 Brother’s Pizza Cafe chain is run by the amazing vegan chef Jay Astafa.
