Wonderful zuchinni cake Evelyn! I made this today to give to my son and his fiance (they both love zuchinni) I did however weight it for more than 1 hour, it was more like half a day, as I when out for about 4 hours, then came home and prepared it as stated, I added in 1/2 tsp cinnamon also. This cake turned out so good, I gave half to my son, and DH and myself had the rest with our evening coffee, we even have a piece for breakfast! thank you so much for suggesting this recipe Evelyn, we all enjoyed it so much, it's a keeper for sure!...Kittencal:)

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
