About this Recipe

I first saw a recipe for zucchini nut bread in the Lifestyle section of The Star Newspaper/Malaysia (Sunday, 30 Jun 2019, Food p.5). I compared it to the ‘allrecipes’ version (little difference except for the absent sunflower seeds) and decided to feature them both to allow those who might be interested to make their own choice.
