Squashblossoms are a gourmet treat in many cultures and most commonly in Italian and Mexican foods. Use them sliced or whole as a garnish or in salads; coated with light batter and sauteed; or stuffed with soft cheese or other ingredients, battered, and fried. They're delicate and shouldn't be stored in the frig for over a day. Baby Zucchini are extra tender broiled and also delicious steamed, chilled, and spiced with vinaigrette. Also shown:
