Zillions of Zucchini

By far the most popular of the summer squash family, zucchini is also the most versatile. It has a mild flavor and tenderness that always takes up and harmonizes with other ingredients. It never obstructs. Perhaps that’s why zucchini is such an important vegetable to dozens of cuisines around the world—Italian, French, and Japanese to name just a few. Its mildness pleases children, its versatility pleases food lovers, and its rapid cooking time pleases hurried chefs.
