Video post : Fennel & Zucchini Fritters

Welcome to my first video post! It's a little bit of an experiment, but I hope you enjoy! The fennel and zucchini fritters which feature in the video are perfect for a light dinner on a summer evening served along with a salad, they also make great canapés or can be served along with a range of other mezes. It's a great time of the year to make these fritters when zucchinis are so abundant in the veggie patch!!
