I take your roots, and raise you a full head of hair, plus extensions... but, how do you eat this? Is it like a savoury cake?

[screwbylil]

we use it as a bread substitute with salad or soup with or without butter, you can reheat it and have it warm just ping it in micro for 30 secs

That sounds really nice - does it freeze?

Eek - the butter amount has been left out of this recipe - anyone any idea how much to use??

[Jeanied]

OMG - my dream recipe! I've been chocolate and courgetting till I'm sick of it - but cheese and courgette is a totally different proposition. Please let us know the butter requirements - otherwise I'm going to fret all night on the internet!

[OverWyreGrower]

**BUMP**

We are desperate for the butter amount - please help, I'm drowning in courgettes!!!

[Flummery]

I'd like to know too!

[Jeanied]

And the answer to the butter question is... 75g in tiny dice! (found by googling!) - actually, no, I found it and google helped!
