yes I too have a glut of courgettes, I've tried off loading them on the neighbours but short of leaving them on their doorsteps in the early hours I decided to eat them raw, I was really supprised that they taste a bit like avocado pears, I am sure you could use them in a recipe including avocados. Lets be honest what can courgettes be used for, only stir fries, unless anyone out there knows different, any recipes would be very welcome.

Congrats, all the ones that form on my plant drop off after a couple of days. ;(
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

My favourite for courgettes is to fry them and then top with tomato and cheese and brown under the grill.  Can use a few herbs. 

Last year I made a courgette cake.   Certainly disappeared fast.

  Have you tried a bit of hand pollination?  Though we have plenty of pollen beetles around at the moment.

There used to be a great website called receipezaar which had thousands of zucchini recipes, but it seems to have changed to food.com but now I cannot get the searches to work.

This site has quite a few http://basic-recipes.com/veget/zucchini.htm

Kebabs, mix with tomatos, mushrooms, onions, peppers.....meat or halloumi cheese. Cover in yogurt mixed with spices, actually not sure if that works with cheese...... :-\

Or use instead of aubergine for mousaka :)
A space? I need more plants......more plants? I need some space!!!!
