I think that zucchini flowers are one of the most beautiful things you can eat. They are lovely and elegant, and they just scream summer. When they are in season, zucchini flowers are delicious stuffed, fried, or sautéed.

Unfortunately, their beauty and their flavors are fleeting. This recipe for Zucchini Flower Sauce from Eugenia Bone's Well-Preserved is a wonderful way to keep the warm, summery flavors of zucchini flowers around all year, with a little help from the freezer. Bone incorporates this sauce into a basic risotto recipe, as a sauce for a mild fish, or as an addition to a quesadilla.
