I don't usually ARC read cookbooks, but saw this one and just had to apply for it. Zucchini is my favorite veggie, wait no- I just learned in this book it is actually a fruit, so my favorite fruit.
I haven't tried much with it (before this cookbook) beyond adding it to soups or frying it. I am so thankful for a plethora of new ways to try it now. I am making the zucchini lasagna tonight and will definitely be trying the zucchini desserts. I enjoyed learning about the history of the fruit in the beginning of the book. I'm from the south, so these recipes will be near and dear to my heart just like they are to the author I am sure. Thank you so much for letting me be an ARC reader, I wish you much success on this books release!

I happen to love zucchini, so I was delighted to see this book pop up for review. I loved the recipes in here as they are easy, not too expensive and anyone who has ever grown zucchini knows, zucchini is rather ABUNDANT...to the point where you basically give it away. (MY sister who lived in Arkansas said you made sure you didn't leave your windows cracked during the summer when you were at church as you would find a basket of zucchini in your car once services were over!)

Great recipes that cover the range from appetizers to desserts and varied beyond the ubiquitous zucchini bread and 'ZOODLES. Easily understood by cooks of all levels, I will recommend this book far and wide!

Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables. Plus it is so versatile. I grow it in my garden and constantly look for new ways to prepare it. I have made several of the recipes in this and I loved them. This is a cookbook you d onto wanna miss if you love or need more zucchini in your life.

I love a good zucchini but soon run out of ideas on how to use them and that is what drew me to this cookbook.. I love the cover photo as it made me hungry..

With 4 sections which include Appetizers and Snacks, Salads, Soups and Sides, Mains and even Sweets this covers all bases and there are some great recipes and information in this book and I have tried one or two recipes so far and look forward to trying more soon.

One that takes my fancy and which I will be making soon is the Zucchini Baba Ganoush. YUM. Now I am hungry again!

A great cookbook and one any zucchini lover will enjoy.

I do kind of love zucchini's after reading (and sampling) some of the suggestions from this book. I struggle to get my children to eat vegetables, but they were delighted to feast on chocolate brownies from this recipe book (of course made with zucchini)!

There are 4 sections to this book - these mainly equate to starters, lunches, mains and desserts/bakes. Some processes I felt were a stretch to my 'beginner' status, but there was enough variety that there was something for even the most novice of cooks!

A lovely recipe book, and one I would recommend highly!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book for an advance copy.

Got Zucchini? Zucchini Love: 43 Garden-Fresh Recipes for Salads, Soups, Breads, Lasagnas, Stir-Fries, and More is a cookbook where every recipe contains zucchini. This is perfect for those who have gardens and too much zucchini. It’s also good for those who choose to purchase zucchini from the grocery store; it is available year round. It’s actually great for everyone who loves zucchini.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner, so they are easy-to-follow for anyone – beginning cooks to experienced cooks. The recipes call for ingredients that are easy to find, and are often on the pantry shelf, fridge, or freezer. There are recipes for appetizers, salads, soups, main dishes, and desserts. However, the book is light on main dishes – there should be more – but there are several side dishes which are appealing.

One positive to this cookbook is that there are beautiful photographs of most of the recipes. This makes it easy to see what the finished dish should look like, and makes it easier to choose which recipe to make next. The vegetable side dishes stand out, and the desserts look very appetizing. I made the Zucchini Ricotta pound cake first, and have a long queue of recipes to prepare.

All told, this small book has great zucchini recipes, but not enough of them. Most of the recipes are very appealing, and most have a minimum of ingredients. Anyone who loves zucchini will love the new recipes in this cookbook.


Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

There’s loads of great ideas in here for zucchini lovers like myself. I really enjoyed the zucchini and eggplant lasagne and the zucchini and tomato tian and I’m really looking forward to trying out some more of these recipes.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

43 recipes for zucchini, plus a history! With 4 sections which include Appetizers and Snacks, Salads, Soups and Sides, Mains and even Sweets this book highlights the versatility of zucchini!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

This is an awesome cookbook. I love zucchini and knew it could be used in so many different ways. This book opened my eyes even further. With loads of techniques for cooking zucchini. The recipes look delicious and easy to follow. I feel inspired to make most of these dishes. I also loved the pictures for each dish.

For someone trying to east more veg and less meat, this book is a delight! There are so many great recipes in here.. I love Zucchini, but struggle to be inventive with it - well not anymore! I especially love the baking recipes that are a great way to incorporate veg into lunchbox treats for the kids! Great book!

Okay, I am so happy to have gotten this one from Storey Publishing and Cynthia Graubart. Even though it's only March, I'm already prepping my summer garden space logistics, and I will be planting tons of zucchini. In years past, I ran out of dishes to make with all of my grown zucchini, but I will be set this year. Zucchini Rollups, Zoodles, Zucchini galettes, and flatbreads catch my eye immediately. I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy.

This book is delicious!!! My love to zucchinis just grew a hundred times over. The recipes are easy to follow. The images are mouthwatering. Can't wait to try all the recipes in the book. Cynthia Graubart created a master piece

This is a solid summer cookbook. Have a garden full of zucchini and need an idea...or 50? This is the book for you! Most of the recipes had photos, and there was a good selection of dishes from zucchini bread to zucchini lasagna to zucchini pot stickers to zucchini prosciutto pesto pizza. Good variety with lots of vegetarian recipes, but also a a few with chicken, shrimp, and beef. Some delicious sounding desserts too, including zucchini fudge brownies. The only thing missing was a zucchini cocktail, haha. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Creative, exciting, and delicious! I loved this collection of recipes, it was full of great ideas I’d never considered before. As someone trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals, I loved this book, and definitely recommended it to people.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Seeking ways to reduce food waste? Hoping to rely more on locally grown foods? Dreading the annual over abundance of zucchini? This cookbook helps address all three. Beautiful photographs and frank admissions, e.g. “cooked zoodles do not keep well,” help boost confidence in these recipes. I know I’ll turn to this book when the zucchini start piling up.

When I spotted my favourite vegetable finally had a gorgeous little book, I immediately clicked request!

Easy to follow recipes and good images included within! I have made two so far for dinners since downloading and loved them. Can’t wait to try more soon!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I often go to a local farmer's market and pick up zucchini when it is in season. I only know about one or two ways to cook it, so I quickly get bored with it. I know it's a healthy veggie so I was seeking new ways to prepare it and this cookbook is perfect for that!

It has approximately 45 recipes that include appetizers, snacks, salads, soups, sides, main courses and sweets. I love the variety and I will be using my zucchini in a whole new way now!!

Loved these easy to read and follow zucchini recipes! I can’t wait to try them all! I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate more veggies into my diet and I found these ideas very helpful. The majority of these recipes had photos, which I prefer. Zucchini is such a versatile veggie, it really did deserve its own cookbook category! Thank you NetGalley for the Advance Reader Copy!

Wow! I requested a pre-release of this on NetGalley because I love zucchini and frequently find myself with an abundance of it thanks to my CSA and growing it myself. I didn't expect much since I thought that I had pretty much exhausted my search for zucchini recipes. I was wrong! This gorgeous cookbook is crammed with mouthwatering photos of delicious zucchini packed recipes that I never would have thought of but will definitely be trying. I have already pre-ordered my hard copy!

Thank you to Storey Publishing and #NetGalley for allowing me to read a pre-release of this cookbook. My review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.

I just recently got a spiralizer attachment for my kitchen aid mixer, and have been looking for good zoodle recipes. In this cookbook there was zoodle corn salad, garlic sesame zoodle bowl, and zoodle and beef stir fry, There was even bread and dessert options. I really liked the variety and creativity of the recipes, there were appetizing images, and straight forward instructions. This publisher also had a cookbook called "Tomato Love," so I am sensing a theme. This cookbook would be great for parents of picky eaters trying to sneak in vegetables. I will be cooking some of these recipes and enjoying them! I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I love zucchini, I was brought up on them and my love of them have never waned. I grow then every year in the garden and cook and give many away. Many say that the zucchini is bland, but that is not the case. This book has some fabulous recipes that incorporate the vegetable into some very tasty and easy dishes to make -from savory dishes, spyriols spagetti, dips, cakes, drinks and desserts. And the best of all stuffed zucchini flowers - yum. Seventh heaven of a book. Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC

Beautiful recipe book.
I grew up with a family garden that produced a bumper crop of zucchini every summer. My dad made the most amazing things out of zucchini. These recipes are more upscale that the home cooking my father prepared. They all look delicious. Includes gorgeous, mouth-watering photos. The author includes comments about how long each dish will remain fresh in the refrigerator and if it freezes well.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Well color me impressed! I had absolutely no idea that the humble zucchini could be the star of so many delicious sounding dishes until this cookbook! Seriously, one looks better than the next! I’m also massively impressed that the recipes don’t just include zucchini but rather zucchini is the main feature along with a few sidekicks. Anyone who belongs to a CSA, grows their own zucchinis, or has found themself at a farmer’s market or grocery store and realized that zucchini is the most prevalent and inexpensive vegetable option available needs this book! Personally, I’m excited to first try out the zucchini fritters with tahini dip, lemon marinated zucchini with mushrooms, cheesy zucchini potato soup, zucchini corn pudding, zucchini mushroom tart with potato crust, and the zucchini ricotta pancakes.

A wonderfully comprehensive cookbook with zucchini forward recipes to fit any tastebud, this cookbook is a keeper!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read the advance electronic copy and offer an honest review.

Easy to grow, abundant and hearty zucchini are sometimes overlooked for something more fascinating or unique. However, their mild attributes and multitudinous ways of preparing them are what makes this fruit so versatile. In Zucchini Love, author Cynthia Graubart adds interesting tidbits such as the origin of the word "zucchini", health benefits and 40+ recipe ideas to elevate it from the back burner to the front and center.

Zucchini flowers are my favourite part of the fruit to eat and the Pimento Cheese-Stuffed Zucchini Flowers recipe looks superb, especially with the addition of anchovy paste as recommended in the notes. Amongst other recipes I will make include Refrigerator Zucchini Pickles, Lemon=Marinated Zucchini and Mushrooms (I will make with wild mushrooms as we have an abundance), Cheesy Zucchini Potato Soup (with beans!), Zucchini Mushroom Tart, Zoodle and Beef Stir-Fry and Fresh Zucchini Strawberry Jam is high on my priority list. If Chocolate-Pecan Zucchini Bundt Cake doesn't grip you, nothing will. So many lovely options. I could open the book to any page, throw a dart and make that recipe, knowing it will be a tasty success. Though I have celiac disease, I could make easy gluten free substitutions for nearly every recipe inside.

The recipes contained are very simple with minimum effort and the ingredients are easy to find. The recipes will appeal to the beginner cook, novice and experienced cooks seeking fresh inspiration.

My sincere thank you to Storey Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an early digital copy of this fruitful book, made for salivating over and cooking from. No excuse not to use this oft-maligned fruit in fresh ways, even if you find 50 of them sitting on your front step!
