It's not really a bread - very definitely a cake in my terms, but the kind of cake you can eat every day and put in a kid's lunch box without feeling guilty. And I've morphed it a little. The basic recipe is <a href="http://witcheskitchen.com.au/zucchini-ginger-muffins/%22" rel="nofollow"> here</a>. One of the things I like about it is that it's a mix-it-up-and-bake recipe - no creaming or beating. My other favourite thing to do with a zucchini glut is <a href="http://witcheskitchen.com.au/lebanese-marinated-zucchini-et-al/" rel="nofollow">Lebanese Marinated Zucchini</a>. I keep a jar going in the fridge all summer and we have it on sandwiches and as a side. And, lately, I've been managing to use a zucchini or two for breakfast in zucchini and feta patties - basically grated zucchini, grated feta, eggs, bit of basil, garlic and chili, just enough flour to make a fritter type batter and shallow fry. Very yum. And then, when all else fails, the chooks get to live on zucchini for a while.Linda Woodrowhttp://www.witcheskitchen.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-29647027659805831472011-12-09T07:19:14.403+11:002011-12-09T07:19:14.403+11:00The cake is delicious and would be perfect for bir...The cake is delicious and would be perfect for birthday cake I think!purplepearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-61934862570520169712011-12-09T06:05:40.458+11:002011-12-09T06:05:40.458+11:00The kids and I make this cake at zuchinni time too...The kids and I make this cake at zuchinni time too, Kate...it is delicious. I can't remember where I got mine either now as I have been baking it for years.

I also like it in bread, or grated and mixed in fried rice.<br />I am curious, what is a glut? That is not a term I have heard before. :)<br />xxTracey ~ Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575854515384481573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-52794178584887160402011-12-08T21:14:08.928+11:002011-12-08T21:14:08.928+11:00Oh yum!

Long enough to have a good lash at them but not long enough to eat more than you need..... until I get my polytunnel up and running!

It wasn't fun to pick them but they gave my 2-minute noodles (all I could afford to eat) good flavour.<br /><br />My favourite recipe is simple:<br />Zuchinnis, tomatoes, onions, and chilli cooked in a saucepan (no need for water as there is plenty from the veges)...yum yum yumCasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178358479091135513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-65286038899764416472011-12-08T20:46:45.143+11:002011-12-08T20:46:45.143+11:00Oh, I'm hearing you!
