If zucchini were a person they’d be that friend you would want around all the time; just a lovely, pleasant, likeable gal, that doesn’t cause drama. As a foodie who has struggled with food intolerance for a big part of my life, zucchini has always been a staple. I’m not sure what I would do if there was a shortage. I would likely start pulling out our savings and stockpiling the green wonder vegetable.

I have shared my love of zucchini before (try my zoodle recipes here). This latest zucchini recipe is a simple, savoury bread. As you’d expect with the chameleon that is the zucchini, you can eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner, send it to school with the kids (it’s nut free) or freeze it to keep it on standby for a rainy day (if it lasts that long).
