Chocolatey, fried, spicy zucchini? — 8/01/2024

The Hippo frontpage with words chocolaty fried spicy zucchini on white background, 2 zucchini flowers beside text

So. Many. Zucchini. It is a familiar state to anyone who has ever planted zucchini or been the friend, neighbor, coworker or casual acquaintance of anybody who has planted zucchini. In this week’s cover story, John Fladd takes a look at this seemingly never-ending part of the summer harvest and offers eight ideas for what to do with them.

Also on the cover, Zachary Lewis gives you the details of the annual League of NH Craftmen’s Fair, which kicks off Saturday (page 6), as well as the annual Suncook Valley Rotary Hot Air Balloon Rally (page 16). And do some eating at the Southern New Hampshire Food Truck Festival (page 22).
