Savory Baking: Zucchini and Feta Loaf

The end of zucchini-season is here, or at least in a utopian world where there were still seasons for all of Nature’s bounty…if you grow them in your garden, you know what I mean; if you buy them at the supermarket, then you can make this delicious loaf all year round!! Ha!

We’re big “loaf” fans here at SWEETTABLESCAPES, so these make repeated appearances at our summer table and are really great with a salad and since they’re easy to make, just go for it!! This recipe is from Cuisine et Vins de France magazine.
