Hi Martha, thanks so much for pointing this out. I've added an extra step to squeeze out some of the excess moisture from the grated vegetables so the end product is less soggy. Thanks, Gael (LiveLighter dietitian)

Hi Tracey, that's an impressive crop of zucchinis! We have used 300g as the size of a large zucchini in our recipe, which would be only one quarter of your smallest homegrown zucchinis. If you end up putting in a bit more please let us know how it goes :) Thanks, Gael
