2 large eggs, preferably omega-3 eggs, beaten 1⁄3 cup packed light brown sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 3 cups grated fresh zucchini 2⁄3 cup canola oil, preferably expeller-pressed, plus more for greasing the muffin tins 2 teaspoons baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup chopped pecans 1 cup golden raisins
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini, canola oil, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mix and stir well. Finally, stir in the pecans and raisins.
4. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with canola oil. Spoon the batter into the cups to fill them about 3/4 of the way.

5. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for about 20 minutes. Then run a small paring knife around each muffin and remove them from the muffin tin.
‘WTTS In Conversation’ is a bi-weekly podcast delivering decades of WTTS interviews with emerging and legendary artists.

Here’s how to make one of her family’s favorite dishes…
Ingredients:
3 16 oz. cans of chickpeas (or prepare your own from 2 cups dried chickpeas.)
5 medium yellow onions (coarsely chopped)
6 cloves of garlic (finely minced)
2 tbs. of olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
Parmesan cheese (shaved)
1.5 cups pasta of your choice
Instructions
Heat olive oil in large skillet (with lid) on medium. Add chopped onions to sauté, stir frequently until onions are translucent and sweet. Turn Heat to low, add garlic and stir (add more olive oil if it’s too dry at this point). Cook for about 5 more minutes. Add chickpeas and enough cooking liquid until liquid is even with the surface of other ingredients in skillet. Simmer covered on low for 15 minutes. To thicken sauce, use a fork to mash up some of the chickpeas. Add pepper and salt as needed. Prepare pasta. Farfalle and Penne are great for this, but use what you want. Serve chickpeas over warm pasta and most importantly—add plenty of shaved parmesan cheese.
Amy Winehouse particularly loved Caribbean food. It was once reported that Amy wouldn’t return home to the UK unless she could bring a Caribbean chef with her. Here’s a Jerk Chicken recipe she would’ve adored.
Amy Winehouse’s Jerk Chicken
½ cup malt vinegar (or white vinegar) 2 Tbsp dark rum 2 Scotch bonnet peppers (or habaneros), with seeds, chopped 1 red onion, chopped 4 green onion tops, chopped 1 Tbsp dried thyme or 2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 4 teaspoons ground allspice 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 4 teaspoons ground nutmeg 4 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons molasses 1 (5- or 6-pound) roasting chicken, cut in half, lengthwise ½ cup lime juice Salt and pepper
To begin, mix the vinegar, rum, peppers, onions, oil, thyme, spices, and molasses in a blender and pulse until mostly smooth. Then pour the mixture over chicken that’s been placed in a large plastic bag or baking dish and coated with the lime juice. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken sit overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Put the marinade in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. To cook the chicken, you can grill it or bake it in the oven, coating it with the marinade as you go. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, cut it into pieces and serve with black beans and rice.

It’s no secret that one of David Bowie’s favorite dishes was a classic Shepherd’s Pie. His wife Iman would often make it at home, and there was even a restaurant in Japan that served a version named after him.
The foodies at Ranker.com dedicated this variation on the recipe to the late rock pioneer:
David Bowie’s Shepherd’s Pie
¼ cup (65 mL) olive oil 1.1 lb (500 g) ground lamb (or ground beef if making cottage pie) 1 medium onion 2 medium carrots 2 sticks celery 2 cloves garlic 14.5 oz (411 g) can of chopped tomatoes 1 cup (250 mL) vegetable stock 6 dashes Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper to taste 1 small turnip 1 Bosc pear 5 medium Russet potatoes 5 Tbsp (75 mL) butter
Cook the lamb in oil over medium-high heat until brown, remove it from the heat, drain excess oil, and set aside. Dice vegetables and garlic, and saute over medium heat for 10 minutes. Combine the mixture with the lamb, adding tomatoes, stock, and Worcestershire sauce, as well as salt and pepper. Let the dish simmer for 20 minutes. Peel and chop the turnip, cover with water, bring to a boil for 12 minutes, drain. Place the chopped pear into a roasting pan and bake it with the whole, scrubbed potatoes for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them in half and remove the insides, mashing them and adding in the pear and turnip. Blend in the butter, and spread over the lamb and vegetable mixture that’s been put into a casserole dish. Bake it for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees and increase the temperature to 425 degrees for the final 5 minutes, making sure it’s golden brown on top. Variations on Shepherd’s Pie may include capers, Madeira wine, and anchovies.

We thank you for spending time with us listening to WTTS A to Z.
