I can recommend an excellent cookbook called 'What can I do with all those courgettes?'

..Good job we like courgettes!! I've seen that book but not got round to getting it yet (got a lot of courgettes recipes, though I might need a few variations this year!). I'm hoping that we'll have enough that I don't feel bad sacrificing some of the potential courgettes as flowers - always fancied cooking some of the flowers in batter, but never felt I had enough to forgo the courgettes themselves... I guess in terms of companion planting by the end of this season I'll have a good idea for what doesn't work well with courgettes if nothing else!

Can't you cook the male flowers, just keeping one or two for fertilisation?
