Nigellas cougette cake? Can get recipe if you want

[Washersaurus]

Jamie Oliver has a recipe for Courgette bread in one of his books (uses about 6 courgettes I think)

Put them in a frittata, summer risotto with other veggies.

They will keep for a while in the fridge anyway won't they?

Chop, roast with oil and seasoning, then freeze to add to all those italian recipes.
