Every July, zucchini stops being a vegetable and becomes a situation. One week it is a polite pair at the farmers market, the next it is a grocery bag on your porch from a neighbor who will not take no for an answer. This page is my answer to the situation.

These are the five ways I actually use it, in rough order of how often: crispy fritters with dill yogurt, charred planks straight off the grill, parmesan-crusted spears out of a very hot oven, sausage-stuffed boats that turn one vegetable into dinner, and a cardamom zucchini bread for whatever is left on the counter. The collection grows as the zucchini keeps coming. And it always keeps coming.
