Down-Home Family Reunion

For Curtis, food is more than–well, food! It's a basic part of community, and that is never more evident than at a family reunion. "It's that social interaction and breaking of bread that makes preparing and eating food so much fun," he says.



This Chocolate Zucchini Cake is a marvelous finale to a home-cooked spread. It's easy to make and earned five stars from MyRecipes reviewers, who say it is "very moist and very chocolatey" and "a great cake to bring with you if you're asked to bring dessert."
