There is a bit of confusion about these two plants. For some reason,the fennel plant, which resembles celery with fern like tops, has been called sweet anise in produce markets. The true anise is cultivated only for its seeds. So what you see labelled "sweet anise" in your market is probably fennel, but no matter what you call it, this is a highly interesting vegetable. Every part of this aromatic plant has a taste and aroma similar to licorice. The stems are eaten like celery,uncook, or cooked and served as a vegetable (heavenly with apples in waldorf salad) available from September to May.

Made these coffee fudge popsicles a few days ago... Boy, oh boy, they were the best and easiest popsicles I had ever made. Coffee, chocolate, and fudge were all in one bite, it was just melting in my mouth. They are perfect on a hot summer day or whenever you feel like craving something that combines these three things...
