Is the zuchinni grated or chopped in the food processor? I made the cake in the summer but the cooked cake had hard green shards in it . My guests thought it was plastic or something. Perhaps my zuchinni was too large and old and tough. I used a box grater that time. I am going to try this cake again and may try finely chopping the zuchinni instead, and probably peel it first. Any other suggestions?

Hi Al - the zucchini should be pretty finely grated. As I say, not liquefied; but not in chunks, either. So use the blade in your food processor; or a smaller hole on your hand grater, OK? PJH

How long can you keep zuchinni before it goes bad? I have a nice size zuchinni on my kitchen counter…its been there for 3 months, is it still good to bake, cook, anything? Thank you I think three months would be too long.It would probably be pretty dried out. Usually a couple of weeks in the refrigerator is the maximum. Mary @ KAF

My husband is the zucchini god here and the neighbors are running inside and locking there doors when they see us! We currently reside in England and introduced yellow squash to the community here, which they had never tried. So he is also the yellow squash god. Thanks for the zucchini recipes, can hardly wait to try them. Thank goodness I don’t think I can get tired of zucchini!

Here’s what my mother-in-law always does: grated or finely diced zucchini, briefly stirred in a skillet in olive oil; salt, pepper, enough beaten egg to bind it. Plain as it is, it’s surprisingly tasty! PJH

Um, YUM! The first time I had chocolate zucchini bread was at a church potluck many years ago, and I remember saying to the woman who made it: does this REALLY have zucchini it? I want some again, and this recipe looks perfect!

This looks and sounds absolutely delicious. The photos you’ve taken are great also, they really give a good sense of what is should look like.

Your recipe for fried zucchini is one of the best I’ve ever tried! It’s so delicious, I could eat just that for dinner.

For my kids, who are finicky about eating veggies, I like to omit the red pepper flakes and mix the whole mess in with Annie’s white cheddar with shells…yum.
Now, if you could just sneak in some peas and Presto! A complete protein! Elisabeth @ The Baker’s Hotline

I made this last week and it got raving reviews from everyone who tried it. It is such a nice, tender, not too sweet chocolate cake. This one is a keeper!
