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!

Thanks for this – couldn't be better timing considering the mountain of zucchini that I purchased at the farmers' market this week.
This compilation post is just like my favorite compilation CD (when I used to make those): perfectly balanced and there right when you need it most! I think my fiance will actually eat most of these! Success! Thank you!
Will definitely have to try some of these recipes out! They look so tasty 🙂
I 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.
Hi Kevin- I just wanted to let you know that I love reading your blog (even though I'm not a big commenter), and I am nominating you for the Liebster Award…head over to my blog to see what it’s all about http://thehungarybuddha.com/2014/08/liebster-award/ 🙂
Perfect! Now I can get my zucchini fix in before the end of the season!
I want to have a Zucchini party and have everyone bring one of these so I can try them all!
All of there recipes looks incredible! I'm sure that they are very delicious! The desserts are very interesting.
