Thank you very much for your recipes. My Dad used to make squash parties when I was little. He couldn’t keep up with me. My neighbor is letting me have his pumpkin flowers and I couldn’t remember how the parties were made. Thanks again.

I do believe you must use the male flowers, and not the female fruit bearing flowers. The male flowers will be found on a longer straight stem. The female flowers are usually on a shorter plump stem. Male flowers are usually the first flowers to be produced on zucchini plants, as the weather warms they are followed by female flowers and then the zucchini fruit.

@Susan: I started this website years ago and I didn’t have a digital camera. I now take pictures for every dish I make and I’m slowly adding pics in the old recipes as well. This will take time though :-)

You have nice recipes and a good website. May I suggest adding pictures for the finished product and also for different steps in the preparation which will help the non-italians like me who have no idea how some finished recipes should look. Thank you.

My mom used to make these when I was a kid and I loved them! I was wondering if they could also be made with pumpkin flowers. We have a pumpkin patch but the rabbits keep eating the small pumpkins and it seems like a waste. I’d rather eat the flowers before the rabbits get to them!
