The idea was good, but the proportions and the practicality was all off. The blue cheese mixture is soupy and tends to run out of the artichokes while the chokes themselves are overcooked.

These were so good that I want to make them again this week! I wasn't planning on making these, but improvised with some leftover steamed artichokes, and substituted crumbled blue cheese and nonfat milk. Incredible! go make them now - if you like blue cheese and artichokes, you won't be dissapointed!
very good

My husband and I are artichoke fans and normally prefer them unadorned. But we found this easy recipe really delicious and the gorgonzola was an interesting flavor partner for the artichokes. It was good enough for us to keep.
And I thought I knew the best artichoke recipes

This recipe really was great, although next time I will have to extend the boiling time since the stems (the best part) were tough. I loved the presentation, and the tastes were great. I accidentally bought too little gorgonzola (8 oz. for 3 artichokes), and I subbed fat-free milk for cream to lighten it up. Still great, and I'll definitely make them again before the season ends.
SINFULLY DELICIOUS

I saw this episode and went right to the store to gather the ingredients. I forgot the instructions by the time I arrived home but figured I would improvise, and to my delightful surprise, it was still so sinfully delicious. I have shared this recipe with all my friends and we are all in love.
fab- but don't toss stems!

I steamed the artichokes rather than boil, with stems intact. After cooking, I chopped them up and added them to the filling. Such a waste to toss them! All you need to do is peel them a bit to take off the bitter, tough skin. I used a little less cheese than called for to no ill-effect. I thought they were delicious!!

This is a great recipe if you love both artichokes and gorgonzola. I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out absolutely perfect. My husband (who does not like artichokes) smelled mine and insisted on a bite. He said this is the only way he would ever eat artichokes. I was delighted just finding another way to eat artichokes. We both loved this recipe!
OUTSTANDING!

The ingredients just sounded right and it was certainly as good if not better than we expected. The mingling of the sharp cheese with the delicate artichoke was amazing! Have to get more artichokes before the spring crop is gone. If making as an appetizer one choke is fine. It also works as a very filling and delicious meatless main course.
Fabulous

If you love gorgonzola this is a must try. I was a bit skeptical about boiling the artichokes since we normally steam them but did everything according to the recipe. I served it as an appetizer at a small dinner party and it was FANTASTIC! All of the guests, raved about them. The centers and leaves came out so easy because of the boiling. We know have a new way to prepare our artichokes and will definitely make this one a keeper!

Giada is usually great - but this recipe was a huge disappointment gorgonzola was really overpowering to such a tender veg - flavors did not go well together. Had to force myself to eat it (and make my DH feel good) yucky! Guests were polite and picked as well,but overall this is not a keeper!
Yummy!

Well after reading the reviews I changed two things. I did goat cheese instead and only filled the artichokes up about half way. Even with doing that it was a lot of flavor to handle. It was wonderful though, and I would recommend it! I'd use a lil less garlic though. I LOVE garlic, but that was even a lot for me.

I made these but just used what I had in the fridge: some leftover goat cheese and crumbled feta, fat-free milk instead of cream, and 21 seasoning salute rather than all the dried herbs... it was WONDERFUL! I made it as an appetizer for a few friends I had over for dinner and it was gone in no time! Use your favorite semi-soft cheeses and you can't go wrong!

Great elements; poor match

User: Teri from Athena, OR User Rating:
The two main elements of this dish were great, but they were a poor taste match together. Gorgonzola doesn't complement artichoke. At our dinner party, we scraped out the cheese stuffing and spread it on homemade sourdough bread toast, and dipped the artichoke in traditional melted butter. Nice match with our local pinot gris. By no means a disaster!
Great Idea

I absolutely loved this recipe. Since I'm not crazy for any kind of blue cheese, I substituted goat cheese and it came out great. I've always shied from making artichokes, but this was super easy.

User: Gary from Burlingame, CA User Rating:
Read everyones concern about too much gorg. cheese. Used less and little more cream to thin it out a bit. I always steam my chokes. This time I took them out a bit earlier(35min.) than usual since they would go back into oven for 25 minutes. The whole artichoke was edible! Will try different variations now that I am used to taking out core stems. So much more potential. Shocked that those in midwest and east are not used to the artichoke??? Staple at our house weekly. This is a meal in itself.........
Love this recipe!

My husband and I really liked these artichokes. I saw Giada make them on the show, or else I might not have had the confidence to make them. It was easy prep, and a delicious result. I thought the gorgonzola was powerful in a good way, and so rich and creamy. Not the most healthy meal I've ever made, but worth it!
Great taste, hard to eat.

Now matter how long I've tried to boil the artichoke, the leaves are too chewy. The core is nice and soft. I really loved the gorgonzola. It tastes a lot like bleu cheese.
After taking your advice....

User: Jen from Allentown, PA User Rating:
I like gorgonzola, but only in very small amounts because I find it so strong, so I substituted herbed goat cheese, and used less of it. Sadly I forgot to add the garlic to the filling, but generally it was pretty good. I actually think the goat cheese was TOO mild, so maybe next time I'll try a domestic blue or maybe feta. It was my first time eating a whole artichoke, and even though it was a lot of work eating leaf by leaf, I really enjoyed it, doesn't really even need a sauce/filling.
Fabulous!!!

I watched Giada today make this recipe and had to make it TODAY! I love cooking with artichokes and have never seen taking the "choke" out before eating the leaves. Brilliant! I never thought to do that before. The cheese was fabulous and had a wonderful garlic and thyme flavor. Will make this many times again. It gives the artichoke a very fancy feel.
YUMMY!

I used the nuker to cook them in a little water and covered with saran wrap. I also used sour cream and panko. Also a little melted butter. They never dry out
Would not recommend

User: Cindy from Danville, CA User Rating:
The artichokes were good, was a great way to learn how to clear the centers out. The Gorgonzola was very overpowering and salty to the taste. May have been better on bread or something that could even out the powerful taste a little better. Would not recommend.
Just ok

Wow! This was wonderful! The cheese has a very strong flavorful presence, and if you are not familiar with gorgonzola, this is an excellent recipe to experiment with, but so many reviewers didn't seem to expect that. My gourmands were delighted. She's done it again!

I made this tonight for the first time as an appetizer for my husband and myself. Having never made an artichoke before (since it always seemed like so much work I'd rather have than at a restaurant). this wasn't that hard at all. My gorgonzola dip didn't seem to be as creamy as Giada's but I used half and half not having any heavy cream and the gorgonzola was just average. Next time I'll get a better gorgonzola and use the cream. It still tasted pretty good especially for a first time artichoke. (and the choke came out really easy with a grapefruit spoon!)
too much cheese

User: Sherry from Wichita, KS User Rating:
The cooking technique was great; I usually just boil them, but baking them after boiling really makes them the perfect texture. Loved the bread crumbs and I just used panko crumbs that I had on hand. Unfortunately, the cheese is another story. I can't figure why such a strong cheese is being used on such a delicate vegetable. That was just an expensive way to ruin a great dish. I think ricotta or cream cheese would be better. And the quantity of cheese is about twice as much as you need in there.

Excellent! Had to thin the cheese with more cream to get it to spead on top of artichokes, but turned out great. Everyone raved! Not too cheesy for our taste!
tasty but a little strong

User: Anonymous User Rating:
I cooked the artichokes for one hour insead of 30 minutes becuase they were still tough,(They were very soft after one hour- they were falling apart) I should have cooked probably for only 5o minutes. However with having them very tender, it was easy to pull the leaves apart. Instead of adding the cheese and bread crumbs and baking, I simply heated up some of the cheese mixture and used it on the side as a dip. It was tasty, but too much blue cheese for me. I could not taste any of the other ingredients. I am going to try it with feta and with goat cheese next time.

Way too much cheese - the gorgonzola completely overpowered the artichoke. I boiled the artichokes the day before, brought them to room temperature then stuffed and baked them. The artichokes turned out perfect - not dry or chewy. Next time I will halve the cheese and add more bread crumbs.
Delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, using a mild (mildest I could find) of the Gorgonzola. It was easy. However, the "blue cheesy" flavor was overpowering and my husband couldn't eat more than a few bites with the cheese and ended up scraping it off. I'd love it with a mild cheese...any suggestions?

I saw this on tv and decided this would be my first try to make artichokes. I think I should have tried something easier. I didn't know exactly how much of the inside was the "choke" part, so I think I ended up throwing away most of the edible parts. According to sites I saw afterwards, the choke is usually removed when eating. Is that right? Heck I don't know. Anyway, the filling was good, especially with bread. I guess I won't be trying this again, even though it was tasty.
YUMMY!!!

this was such a delicious and elegant side dish! and quite easy to prepare. my filling was a little too thick but i didn't really follow exact measurements and will make sure that it is a creamier consistancy the next time i make this. it needs to be thin enough to easily dip the leaves into. you really could use many different kinds of soft cheeses for this dish. great for leftover bits mixed together. i didn't have enough gorgonzola on hand so i mixed it with some goat cheese. yum, yum, yum!!

I have been wanting to take a stab at cooking artichoke, but wasn't sure what to do with it. So I was very excited about this recipe. The filling was very tasty, but by the time I took it out of the oven it was way overcooked. The leaves were dried out and really chewy. I will try this again, but next time I may add 10-15 mintues to the boiling time and reduce the oven time by the same amount.
Lots of time needed

This recipe said 55 min, but it took me 30 more and could have used some more time. The presentation was ok, but a little lackluster. A litttle more work than it appeared to be when I watched the episode. The filling was rich and tasty, but powerful. You really have to be in the mood for gorganzolla.
