A grower at the markets had several varieties of zucchini - pale green magdas, thin dark green Italianos and golden. Along with corn and beans, the squash family of vegetables were one of the staples of the mesoamericans. Like tomatoes, these were some of the first fruits and vegetables to be taken back to the old world by the Spanish invaders. Like tomatoes, they became a staple of the Mediterranean peoples. I had a lot of brilliantly-flavoured and coloured eggs from the Clarke family chooks at Crystal Creek and some organic quark from Barambah artisan cheesemakers. I picked some wild rocket from the garden and mixed it with mesclun and Sharwill avocado from the markets to make a great simple salad to serve with the frittata.
