Actually, there's not that much of a limit on how much
butter-fried-courgette I can eat, I am happy to eat it all meals.
Unfortunately Nick and Daniel aren't so keen.

However - gardening club show is coming up, and I do need to try making
chutney this year, I think. Possibly left it a bit late, less than 3 weeks
to go now. But I may still give it a try. Anyone got a useful recipe?
(I'm unlikely to even consider eating the vile stuff!)

Fresh small ones are great stir fried with a half a chilli - and
spaghetti somewhat more interesting that way. After a while you start
dreaming of recipes that use courgettes but taste of something else!


I like my courgettes to taste of courgette. I made courgette fried rice
(with rice from the chinese takeaway cos Nick didn't want to cook!!) last
night, and have the leftovers for lunch.

I've made courgette cake before now - a bit odd with green ones, but I have
yellows as well this year, so it may look less scary. But I always found
they tasted a bit odd.
