Sumptuous Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Tara Noland

Although spinach and artichoke dip has become a North American classic, its roots lie n the Provencal cuisine, in which the vegetables are usually baked with cheese and served as a gratin. This chunky dip, simplicity in itself, always draws rave reviews and disappears to the last drop.
