ZUCCHINI AND CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
We are used to considering vegetables as "salty" and fruit as "sweet": we recognize this classification as having a specific place in the kitchen, without reflecting that sometimes the flavors are not so defined. This is why the risotto with strawberries it's not sweetish at all, but tantalizing, and in that with peas and raspberries It is the peas that give the sweetest flavor.
