Classic Zucchini Cookbook or Vegetarian Sushi

Classic Zucchini Cookbook

Author: Nancy C Ralston

Revised and updated, The Classic Zucchini Cookbook is like a new book -weighted to the way we eat today, and with a completely reworked format and design. Ninety new recipes have been added, and the existing recipes have been revamped. All-new illustrations have been added. Hundreds of boxes on zucchini and squash varieties; grower profiles; advice on how to select, store, clean, and preserve; fun zucchini lore and facts; and even information on zucchini festivals has been included. What hasn't changed is the core of inspiring, practical, and creative ways to use zucchini - and summer squash, crookneck squash, patty pan squash, and winter squash - in a variety of dishes. The result is a zucchini extravaganza of 225 easy-to-make, through-the-menu recipes.

Full of sweet succulence, toothsome crunch, healthful fiber, and delicate flavors, zucchini offers the home cook a wide range of possibilities. Here are finger foods: Spicy Pepitas and Curried Toasted Pumpkin Seeds. Salads: Mexican Zucchini Shrimp Salad and Avocado Salad in Zucchini Boats. EntrTes: Baked Penne with Summer Squash and Mushrooms and Chicken Pot Pie with Butternut Squash. Breads: Classic Zucchini Bread and Apple-Carrot-Zucchini Muffins. Desserts: Pumpkin Chiffon Pie and Deep, Dark Zucchini Chocolate Cake. So squash your misconceptions. No one at the table will ever complain, "What? Zucchini again?"

Library Journal

Garden Way's Zucchini Cookbook was first published in 1990 and revised in 1997. This latest edition, retitled and revised by prolific cookbook author Andrea Chesman (The Vegetarian Grill, etc.), includes 90 new recipes, and many of the older ones have been reworked; there are also new boxes and sidebars. As most gardeners know, a glut of zucchini is a common problem (Chesman quotes one grower who suggests discovering a way to dry out the squash and use it as firewood), and appealing recipes using the vegetable are always welcome. Chesman also includes recipes made with winter squashes as well as pattypan, chayote, and other summer squashes. For most collections. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
