Zucchini, aka courgette, a summer squash, has to be one of my favourite summer vegetables (technically a fruit) and that’s good because when you grow it you get a ton of it! Although it’s nice and easy to steam or saute some zucchini and serve it as a side dish you can do so much more with it! Zucchini is really versatile and it can be used in a wide variety of dishes from pastas, to salads, soups, sauces, fritters, pies, casseroles and the list goes on! It can even be used in sweet dishes like cakes, muffins, breads, etc. I always love to experiment and try new ways of using zucchini and with zucchini season here I thought that I would share some of my current favourite recipes!

July 16, 2013 at 6:51 pmThanks for this – couldn't be better timing considering the mountain of zucchini that I purchased at the farmers' market this week.

August 28, 2013 at 7:29 pmI love zucchini. I had a side dish of broiled sliced zucchini and sliced red potatoes with seasoning sprinkled on it. It was so good that I decided to see what recipes Kevin Lynch had that included zucchini. Now, I am waiting for the Saturday when the Farmers Market is open so that I can buy fresh zucchinis.
