This is more than just another recipe for zucchini bread. Fewer spices are used in the batter, allowing the subtle zucchini flavor to come through. The golden raisins give it an appealing appearance as well as texture. The inn suggests serving it warm for breakfast with cream cheese that has a bit of grated orange peel mixed in. –The 1770 House, East Hampton, New York
