I love the recipe for pan-cooked zucchini & tomatoes with eggs in Martha Rose Shulman’s Mediterranean Harvest cookbook. It is a ratatouille-like dish, to which eggs are placed on top and then baked. I can’t describe how good this tastes! Here I have done 2 versions of it, one fairly close to her recipe, using summer…

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread
There is always debate in my house over what to put in the zucchini bread. Ali and I like raisins and nuts, Arielle and Emily like raisins, no nuts, Lauren likes nuts, no raisins. But today, Arielle – my official zucchini bread baker – is home and we decided to try a new approach –…
Ratatouille
I remember hating ratatouille as a child. I only rediscovered it a couple of years ago when I had an abundance of zucchini and eggplants and did not yet have many recipes for them. Luckily, I realized that the secret to delicious ratatouille is to cook it super long so that everything blends and it…
Noodles, Zucchini & Carrots with Peanut Sauce
I love Thai peanut sauce, that creamy, nutty sauce with a slight kick of heat to it. I have been trying different variations on it until I have come to the one that I think has the right balance of flavors and the right consistency. This version gets its heat from a serrano pepper from…
Zucchini Bread
Every year, seemingly endless loaves of zucchini bread fill our freezer. There was already one there from Arielle’s baking last weekend. When I went to the garden and found some zucchini I had apparently missed a few days ago, I realized my zucchini bread baking was about to begin. And it was going to be…
Zucchini – Tomato Sauce with a Kick
We are in that in-between period when the zucchini are plentiful but the tomatoes are still green on the vine. This recipe is perfect for now as it uses zucchini and herbs from the garden and canned tomatoes. Once my tomatoes are in and I am making sauces, I typically do a version of this…
Zucchini, Swiss Chard, Corn & Chicken Saffron Coucous
We happen to have an abundance of saffron in the house, and since I love what saffron does for food, I am always looking for new recipes to use it. I found a nice side dish recipe by Ina Garten for a zucchini saffron couscous. I added swiss chard, local corn, and some leftover chicken…
Zucchini & Garlic Scape Frittata
The zucchini has arrived and I picked up garlic scape from Beechwood Orchards at the farmers market again, so I thought I would combine the two in a frittata using Farmer Kim’s eggs. Using some herbs from my garden, I had everything for the frittata except cheese. Choices in my fridge included feta,…
Zucchini Pasta with Tomatoes & Feta
And so it begins…zucchini time! It is always so disarming, first a few cute little zucchini; a few weeks later and we will be innundated and no amount of zucchini bread baking will be able to keep up. But the season here is usually short lived, our plants are prone to a disease and as…
