6 original recipes with zucchini that will surprise you

Cut it, roast it, sauté it without thinking about it: zucchini is one of those ingredients that never fails. Juicy and with that point of firmness that is appreciated when you bite into it, zucchini can be prepared in a thousand ways. No wonder it is a summer must-have. But for years it has been relegated to the usual creams, purees or sautéed dishes. What if I told you that it can go much further? In omelets, carpaccios, or even in cakes, these ideas take it out of its comfort zone and make it the undisputed protagonist. Give it a different opportunity: zucchini is ready to surprise you.

Passionate about cooking and good food, my life revolves around carefully chosen words and wooden spoons. Responsible, yet forgetful. I am a journalist and writer with years of experience, and I found my ideal corner in France, where I work as a writer for Petitchef. I love bœuf bourguignon, but I miss my mother's salmorejo. Here, I combine my love for writing and delicious flavors to share recipes and kitchen stories that I hope will inspire you. I like my tortilla with onions and slightly undercooked :)
