A hint of summer you can introduce into your life all year round. This magic marinade will make anyone like zucchini. Add fresh bread and a glass of cold white wine and you will be asking yourself why they don’t serve it in fancy restaurants (or maybe they do, but they don’t tell you it’s

This recipe was inspired by a dish served by Joanna, my sister (well, technically, a cousin, but we call ourselves sisters and it works), who knows very well how how to serve an impressive dinner cooked in less than 30 minutes… That summer evening she served goat cheese rolled up in zucchini stripes and goat
