garlic – we don't need to tell you who to use up this little gem.
(keep in a dark/dry place)
zucchini - check out this list of Food 52's best 31 zucchini recipes of all time
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
kale – don’t forget to give it a little massage and remove the stem. Check out this video of how to remove kale leaves from the stem in seconds. See below for recipes.
(store in the fridge)
carrots – this carrot salad recipe looks good.
(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)
basil – basil season is fleeting, blink and you'll miss it. Make some pesto, sprinkle on pasta, or use in a lemonade.
(store in a glass on the counter, with some water in the bottom)
cucumber – peel a little, slice up, sprinkle with salt, serve on a plate. We prefer them crisp and cold from the fridge. So refreshing!

scallions – have you tried grilling them on the BBQ?
(store in the fridge)
potatoes – boil them and eat hot slathered with butter!
(store in a paper bag in the cupboard)
cabbage – we love cabbage roasted or grilled! But it can also make a really nice slaw.
(store in the vegi drawer in the fridge)
lettuce – you know what to do!
