| I can't get enough of HFW's recipe for courgette sauce with pasta: grate courgettes and garlic and fry until reduced in a pan with a little salt and oil. Once reduced, add creme fraiche and lots of parmesan. Yum! |

Salads? I love fresh courgette in salads. Or cut into chips and dunked in those nut, seed and spice mixes you get in north Africa
I've also had some amazing chocolate cakes.

You lucky things! I've only had ONE courgette this year. I had four plants in a 4' square deep bed which I'd heaped with fairly fresh horse manure ... was this the problem? The plants were weak from the start and two have recently shrivelled up completely. Last year I had loads of courgettes, and miss them! Any ideas for this happening?
