What a great idea to use sunchokes instead of potatoes in this chowder recipe! Thanks for including the recipes for the za’atar and fish stock, too.

Hey, did you know that Jerusalem artichokes are neither from Jerusalem nor they are artichokes? So your reference is highly figurative. But it is funny!

The soup sounds fine. I still love my potatoes in it though!

Helen – Sunchokes are totally underutilized. I’m glad they’re gaining popularity nowadays.

katy – Thank you!

skystone – Thanks! That sounds like a wonderful memory. I used to go fishing with my Dad all the time, too.

I LOVED this, the pictures and the story. It brought back memories of when I was 12 and caught my first salmon. I was so proud of myself. Then my Dad taught me to gut it and prep it for cooking on the campfire. A precious memory of mine. Thanks! I had not thought about that experience in a cazillion years.

I love the idea of adding Jerusalem artichokes to the chowder. I really enjoy cooking with them and I’m always looking for new ways to use them. I wouldn’t have thought of this – great tip.
