* “Courgettes” are vegetables which are usually about 15-20 cm long and look a bit like large cucumbers. They are normally green, although there are striped and yellow varieties. Courgette is the name given to this vegetable in Britain and some other English-speaking countries, while it is called zucchini in America, Canada and Australia. Courgettes are an important ingredient in the French dish ratatouille, a stew made from summer vegetables.
