Prepare artichoke bottoms: In a large, nonreactive pot whisk flour
with a little water to make a smooth paste; whisk in about 1 quart of
water and add salt. Squeeze juice from lemon half into water, then
add peel. Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes and add artichoke
bottoms. Cover, reduce heat to simmering and cook until artichokes
are tender, and base can be pierced with tip of a knife, 25 to 30
minutes. Let artichokes cool in their liquid. When artichokes are
cool enough to handle, use a small spoon to scoop out chokes. Use a
sharp knife to trim any remaining leaves.
Prepare creamed spinach: In a skillet heat oil with onion and garlic
over medium heat until tender. Add spinach in handfuls, stirring
until it reduces and releases its liquids. Cook until liquid
evaporates, 2 minutes. Fold in warm bJchamel sauce and season to
taste with Tabasco, salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Poach eggs: In a shallow saucepan or skillet bring 2 inches cold
water and vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat until water
simmers gently. Break eggs, one at a time, into a ramekin or coffee
cup; holding ramekin as close as possible to water, gently slip egg
into water. Poach eggs 3 minutes for very soft-cooked, 5 minutes for
medium-soft. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out eggs and if necessary,
gently pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble: Make a bed of spinach on 2 warmed plates and top with
artichoke cups. Spoon a little Hollandaise sauce into cups and top
with poached eggs. Spoon remaining sauce over eggs and serve
immediately. Yield: 2 serving

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eatingIf you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Know what is in your food Be sceptical of food packaging that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the reverse of the can or package. Some are only a little decreased and in some instances still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are just the same.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system.
