SQUASH THIS!
Zucchini galore
So much zucchini, so little time to figure out what to do with it. “The Vegetable Box,” 14 hand-illustrated cookbooks packaged in a crate, serves up 300 recipes for 30 vegetables, including 10 for zucchini and its flower parts. The box goes beyond the classic squash and tomato stir-fry, following author Keda Black to her French, Spanish, Zambian, Scottish and Italian roots, with dishes like zucchini souffle and a fragrant zucchini puree to get the garden party started. $35, Hamlyn
