Recipe Roundup: Zucchini

To be honest, zucchini hasn't always been our favorite vegetable. It used to sit in our vegetable crisper, slowly getting spongy, while we worked our way through the other contents of our CSA box. But one day, this bright, flavorful salad totally turned us around on the summer squash. And now we can't get enough of it--we pickle zucchini and throw it into grain salads, soak strips of zucchini in garlicky olive oil and grill them until crisp and slightly charred, and freeze bags of grated zucchini to use in Jessica Seinfeld-approved quick breads all year long. If you're still wary, here are some recipes that just might make you a believer too:

Recipe: Corn Fritters
With just two weeks of summer to go, we're clinging to the season with these addictive beer-battered corn fritters from Eric Warnstedt, chef/owner of Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, Vermont. The recipe employs the most satisfying stuff of hot-day dining (corn, beer, and deep-frying), so make a big batch for your end-of-summer sorrows. (Just keep those tears out of the frying oil, or you'll really be sorry.)
