Title: year-round recipes for squash
Review: As so many reviewers have said, this is an excellent cookbook for zucchini, and whether you grow it or not, you'll enjoy the variety here, from zucchini breads to cakes, cookies, bars, soups, salads, pizza, and many other recipes. If you do grow it, you'll find recipes here for zucchini blossoms too, which are a lovely delicacy. What surprised and pleased me the most about this book is that there are many recipes for winter squash too--pumpkin, butternut and others. So this is a cookbook you can use year-round, not just when zucchini is in season. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this cookbook; it opens a whole new world of possibilities for all sorts of squash, even for people who think they don't like it. One slice of the chocolate zucchini bread, and you'll change your mind about squash!

Title: Excellent Zucchini Book
Review: For years I have been using Zucchini recipes that I printed off from various web sites and I lose the good ones somehow. This year, I purchased this Zucchini book after comparing the others on Amazon. The book is square, 8x8.5 inches, has good quality paper, and is easy to handle. The smaller size allows for more counter space when cooking. The majority of the recipes are for Zucchini but the book also includes other winter squash that include pumpkin/yellow/butternut/spaghetti/acorn squashes. There are many casseroles, relishes, desserts, and main courses in which to broaden your menu base. The two main reasons I selected this book is that the recipe ingredients were things I normally cook with (not including ingredients that I would have to special order) and I wanted more options for using my Zucchini than just Zucchini bread, fried Zucchini, or stuffed Zucchini. The only major negative I have with this book is that is does not include instructions for dehydrating the squash and recipes that would use dehydrated squash. Dehydrating helps preserve your food with less space for winter use. The section on pickling and preserving is great but how much pickled Zucchini/relish will you truly eat? The freezer option includes only 5 recipes. Overall, this is a pretty good book for the value.

Title: Great Resource for Zucchini Recipes W/O Pictures
Review: I have to admit that I do really miss pictures in this cookbook. That’s the reason I only gave it 4 stars!! I feel good about my purchase though, since I paid such a fair price it. This is a thick cookbook filled with tons of ideas for cooking zucchini and other types of squash. It will used a lot since my family grows zucchini in their garden and is always looking for recipes. Perfect for a zucchini lover!!!

Title: Yum
Review: Since the garden was once again overrun with squash, I bought this book after checking one out at our local library. The dark chocolate layer zucchini cake was a hit at the Bunco party in August, it's very moist and chocolatey. The various Zapple recipes are a teeny bit of work, but if you are tired of zucchini as zucchini, the apple disguise fooled my husband. Last week I made the pumpkin cake and had another success - with requests for the recipe. So far, it's been all hits, no errors.

Title: good for beginners.
Review: The book is laid out nice, but I was looking for a lot of great zucchini recipes. This has pumpkin and all kinds of squash in it. The few I found that I liked I also saw online. I guess for some this might be great, but I do just as well googling recipes.

Title: A great collection!
Review: This cookbook offers a number of new (to us) recipes for zucchini -- all of the ones we've tried have been good. Liked it so much that we ordered a copy for our gardening neighbors.We took our book to a copy shop, had the binding cut off and a spiral binding installed. Now the cookbook lies flat.

Review: The recipes in here are very much "classic" - not a lot of interesting ones that you hadn't thought of yourself. If you have a lot of zucchini, save the money on this book and put it towards a spiralizer to make spaghetti out of your garden.
