Steps:
- For the zucchini quinoa cakes: In a small saucepot, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate the zucchini and squash. Transfer to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooled quinoa, grated zucchini and squash, chives, dill, mustard, garlic and lemon zest. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper and eggs and mix together well.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet until hot. Spoon nine 2 tablespoon-size scoops of the batter into the skillet and flatten slightly. Cook until golden on the bottom, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the herbed yogurt: Mix together the yogurt, dill, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
- Transfer the cakes to a platter, top with a dollop of the herbed yogurt and garnish with a sprig of dill.
- To make the cakes in advance: Place the cakes on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven at 170 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI CAKES
These savory patties, from Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough's book "Real Food Has Curves: How to Get Off Processed Food, Lose Weight and Love What You Eat," are delicious on their own or with a little mustard slathered on the side. They are also a great leftover, re-crisped in the oven and served for breakfast or in pita pockets for lunch.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the zucchini, then shred them into a colander, using the large holes of a box grater. (You'll need about 4 cups shredded zucchini.)
- Sprinkle the zucchini shreds with salt, toss well and set in the sink for 15 minutes to drain.
- Rinse the zucchini shreds under cool water in the colander. Then pick up handfuls and squeeze them over the sink to get rid of almost all of the moisture. Set the shreds in a large bowl.
- Grate the onion into the bowl using the large holes of the box grater.
- Stir in the ricotta, whole-wheat flour, egg, paprika, dill and pepper, just until the mixture is uniform and there are no streaks of dry flour anywhere.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the oil, then use a 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop up the zucchini mixture and plop it into the skillet, scraping out any mixture left in the cup. Flatten the mixture into a thick cake with the bottom of the cup and continue making more.
- Cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes, then turn them with a large spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned on the other side and a little firm to the touch, about 4 more minutes. If you can't fit all six into your skillet, you'll need a little more oil for the second batch.

- In a small bowl mix together the sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the zucchini cakes on a serving platter and serve with the sour cream.

Steps:
- Toss the grated zucchini with a teaspoon of salt and set it aside in a colander while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Then rinse the zucchini and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
- Toss the zucchini with the eggs, chives, garlic, parsley, marjoram and lemon zest. Stir in the bread crumbs along with the pine nuts and capers. To check the seasonings, fry a dab of the mixture, then taste it for salt and pepper, and season the batter accordingly.
- Put a very thin layer of olive oil into a skillet. (I use two skillets so I cook them faster.) When hot, add the batter in 1/2 cup measures. Spread the batter out a bit and cook over medium heat until golden. You can also make smaller individual cakes using less batter for each skillet cake. When one side is golden, turn and cook the second side. Serve right away or keep warm in the oven until all are done.
- Top with halved cherry or grape tomatoes, if desired.
