Zucchini flowers and ricotta
Chef Martin Dalsass from Santabbondio restaurant gave us this gourmet recipe for stuffed zucchini flowers with a touch of class. Baked in the oven the flowers are served with candied tomatoes, well worth the extra effort.

A variation on a theme, this is a well thought out vegan recipe from Dolly and Oatmeal which promises to be as delicious as it looks, eat hot direct from the oven.
