recipe for Zucchini Loaf
Seeing an abundance of zucchinis in the supermarkets at the moment was
a reminder to get my Mum to email me this recipe. This recipe for Zucchini bread (actually a sweet cake loaf) is delicious, both warm and cold, and no one will believe that it contains zucchini. If eaten cold it is best spread with butter. When hot, also, but if you happen to be dieting then eat it hot and you really won't miss the butter. Zucchini Bread ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quarter teaspoon Baking Powder 1 level teaspoon salt 3 eggs 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda 2 & a quarter cups caster sugar 3 teaspoons cinnamon 3 teaspoons vanilla essence 1 cup walnuts 1 cup oil 2 cups grated zucchini 3 cups flour Set oven at 180 deg C. Line 2 loaf tins. Beat eggs till light and foamy. Add sugar, vanilla and oil. Beat till thick and mousse-like. Stir in the grated zucchini. Sift together flour,baking powder,salt,bicarb soda and cinnamon. Fold this into the zucchini mixture with the roughly chopped walnuts. Pour into tins and bake in pre heated moderate oven for 1- 1 and a half hours or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Use only tender fresh zucchini. (If large, peel and seed before grating). Light maize, peanut or safflower oil give good results. Stir in zucchini and don't beat. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

You just need to remember to only plant one plant. aaaaahhhhhh! you will be my salvation, chookie g to be fair to myself, though, i was just trying to err on the side of avoiding total failure - i.e. no, or not enough, zucchini. i must say, in all my vegetable endeavours, it seems to be feast or famine! i will get the balance right eventually, i know (when i'm about 92). I'm going to grow 'Early White' squash again this year -- or, as I prefer to call them, flying saucer squash. my Exciting New Squash (in general, i loathe them bar pumpkin & zucchini & avoid them like the plague ;-) this year will be spaghetti squash. i'm quite excited, because i just can't _imagine_ it, iyswim. so that will be fun. less fun, i'm somewhat resigned to either having them coming out my ears, or loving them but finding there just aren't enough. g kylie |

I guess this is an option if you plant from seed, but if you buy your plants by the punnet you get at least 8 at a time, and how can you bear to throw them away? Just planted a punnetful of rhubarb. I just know I am going to have major rhubarb battles... |

Just planted a punnetful of rhubarb. I just know I am going to have major rhubarb battles... what you clearly need is a recipe incorporating rhubarb and zucchini g kylie |

True -- but with zucchini, you can sometimes get single advanced plants. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.

You just need to remember to only plant one plant. Just what I was thinking. Either you plant them 2 weeks apart (requires some really serious planning) or just have one and water it a lot. Nothing unexpected about those things. You just gotta keep picking them before they become The Hindenburg. -- ant |

With a little ingenuity, you could probably come up with a mouth-watering zucchini-and-nutmeg ice-cream to top it off! :-) Don't forget that the excess flowers are edible too. Stirfried sliced tomatoe, onion and zucchini is good, and hard to beat if you include a few bacon pieces, too. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

Ended up thinking it was a waste of zucchini, but an okay basic cinnamon cake. Must find an old vege bread recipe, which the wife and I decided might be better. What oil do people use? |

Don't forget that the excess flowers are edible too. i wanted to try a flower recipe or two, but (this is pathetic, but here's where my head is at) wee bug families would always be living in there, & i didn't want to disturb them. hahaha! if they were destructive bugs it would have been KILL! KILL! KILL!, but they just seemed to be living in there harmlessly. sigh. when i'd pick the zucchini i'd take off the withered flower & leave it on the ground so they could rehome themselves. Stirfried sliced tomatoe, onion and zucchini is good, and hard to beat if you include a few bacon pieces, too. this is something my sil makes, but truth be told, it frightens me. i suspect i'm not a REAL zucchini person at heart. kylie |

(american recipes i'd probably use a quarter of what they recommend. lordy!!) Ended up thinking it was a waste of zucchini, but an okay basic cinnamon cake. Must find an old vege bread recipe, which the wife and I decided might be better. What oil do people use? i use olive oil for everything, actually. either x-virgin if it's for something which should taste olive-oily, or "light" (one of the latter pressings) if it should be blander. kylie |

I have the same problem here with self-seeding (lettuce, spinach, borage, etc) as SWMBO will not thin. Worst problem is crop rotation. OTOH, it is surprising how small a seed spud can be. |

Personally, I draw the line at prawn flavoured ice-cream. harmlessly. sigh. when i'd pick the zucchini i'd take off the withered flower & leave it on the ground so they could rehome themselves. The spent flowers look very unappealing.
