Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchokes, are subtly flavoured, with a texture somewhere between that of a potato and a water chestnut.

On another night, omit the pasta and serve the creamy artichokes and chorizo as a side dish.
This classic hearty Italian soup gets a lift with meat- or cheese-filled tortellini. Delish!
Tenderloin is, as the name suggests, a tender cut of steak with a soft, buttery texture that's worth the higher price tag on special occasions.
