ROSIE'S ZUCCHINI BREAD
From Janice Archuleta (Pacific Grove, CA)
When I was in 5th grade my family moved into a house on a ¼ acre. With this move started the existence of a family garden that is grown to this day. My mother freezes bags of grated zucchini in 2 cup increments so she may easily thaw them out and make this delicious bread that is very synonymous with my childhood….
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. oil
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. grated zucchini
½ c. chopped walnuts
½ c. fresh raisins
Sift first five dry ingredients together and set aside.
Cream oil and sugar, beat in eggs one at a time, and add vanilla.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until smooth.
Add the zucchini, walnuts, and raisins to smooth mix.
Pour mix into 2 greased standard loaf pans. Bake @ 350 for 1 hour
Yield: 2 lovely loaves, enjoy!

Joe's Biscotti Recipe was part of an exhibition, Brooklyn Utopias, which ran from October 2, 2009 - January 22, 2010 at the Brooklyn Historical Society. It culminated in a printed cookbook for participants.
Joe's Biscotti Recipe was offered as an active and dispersed monument to my father. Recipe cards with my father's prized biscotti recipe were available at the exhibition. He took great pride in cooking for his friends and family. It connected him to his Italian heritage and allowed him to express his love for those around him. August 2009 marked the five year anniversary of my father's passing.
In addition to being an offering, I wanted Joe's Biscotti Recipe to also act as a catalyst for the reciprocal exchange of meaningful recipes. Through the vehicle of the exhibition and this blog, I asked people to reciprocate with their own recipes that serve to connect them to people and/or places that are no longer with them physically.
As the online collection of recipes grew, the site acted to give form to the recipes and people that connect us to our social histories. Keeping these recipes and cultures alive today tactically ensures that they will be a part of our futures.
A print version of the online cookbook was produced at the closing of the exhibition and mailed out to all the contributors via USPS.
