Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    A disappointing version of zucchini bread. I think I and this recipe developer have different expectations for what zucchini bread should be. Personally I think it should be similar in style to banana bread. Soft, tender, sweet, maybe a little spicy, and definitely cakey. This version is very boring and touches on savory. I think that was their intention though, in highlighting more of the zucchini flavor versus just sweetness. The recipe calls for only 3/4 cup of sugar (2TB of which you use directly on the shredded zucchini to help it drain) for 2cups flour. Most recipes call for 1.5 cups of sugar for 2 cups flour. That’s a huge difference. I went ahead and upped the sugar to 1 cup, but even then it didn’t taste sweet enough, and the metallic flavor of the baking powder and soda were easily discernible.

    Seemed a little earthy and bland. Maybe needed more salt? Overall not bad, and the family ate it, but I wouldn't rush to repeat.
