Hi Farveen,
If you’ve seen fresh artichokes, they have a lot of tough green leave on the outside that are not edible. The artichoke heart is the center of the artichoke that is tender and edible.

There is something called veganaise (which is without eggs). I think they use grape seed extract.

Hi Satya,
We have not tried any of the mayo substitutes so don’t really know how or if they will work with this recipe. The mayo needs to be there for the texture.

Hi Bindu,
This dip is best when it is warm, but it still tastes good if it is not. Even at room temp, it will not be gooey but it will be relatively soft. If you make it the day before, you have to refrigerate it. However, by the time your child eats lunch, it will come to room temp.

Artichoke hearts are the tender center portion of an aritichoke. If you see a fresh artichoke, you will notice that the entire outside is covered with thick and tough green leaves. These are inedible. Only the center part can be eaten. This dish is vegetarian but not vegan as it contains mayo (eggs) and cheese.

Dear Viewers,
We cannot believe the amount of feedback we’ve received for this video.
We made this Spinach & Artichoke dip over the holidays when we did not have our studio set up. We knew we were not going to make it again anytime soon but it’s such a delicious and easy appetizer that we wanted to share it with all of you. Don’t worry, this was a one time thing and we have no intentions of changing our format. We’ll definitely see you in our next video. On a positive note, we are so honored and humbled that you miss us

The top layer really doesn’t get crispy, but it should be slightly light brown. Don’t worry, it will be warm and gooey inside.

Hi Neeta,
We have not tried this recipe with fresh spinach. However, we are able to squeeze the excess water out of the frozen spinach which we would not be able to do with fresh spinach. It may leave water while cooking and make the dip soggy.

March 10th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
I know this recipe was probably not meant to be healthy, but do the spinach and artichoke still have any benefits to it after it has been baked? I will try this recipe either way because it looks too good!

We would not suggest you keep it for more than a day because the salt in the dish will make the spinach sweat. That will make the appetizer watery.

We made this yesterday and it came out good. Just note that we did not had Mayo so we just made it without Mayo and it still came out good so for those of you want to avoid Mayo because of eggs, I would suggest just add little more Sour Cream in place of Mayo.

Hi Pinal,
You can go ahead and bake it the night before so it gets the nice golden brown color at the top. Store it in the fridge and he can microwave it to warm it up again. He may have to stir it a couple of times in between the microwaving so it heats evenly.

Hi Deepa,
Provided you are having other food along with this dip, it will definitely enough for 20 people. It is hard to give exact servings for something like this because it really will depend on what else is available for people to munch on.

With dips, it is really hard to judge how many people it will serve. It will depend on how many other appetizers you have and the time duration you have between your appetizers and dinner. A safe number (if I had to guess) would be around 10.

Hi Shruti,
Dips are always a little difficult when it comes to servings. If you will be having other appetizers, this recipe will probably serve approx 10-12 people. You can just multiply all of the ingredients by 6 or 7. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Bake it just before serving.
