I have a book : the practical produce cookbook. It is organized by vegetable. Under cucumbers, there are the usual things, including pickles. But, the different recipes include: cucumber soup (creamy and non-creamy versions), molded cucumber salad (yes, lime jello is used, along with onion, dill, celery…), sautéed cucumbers, and stir fried cucumbers.
I don't know how I missed your comment. That sounds super interesting!
I love cookbooks. I have so many, they don't all fit on the shelf. I was actually considering starting to take them apart and organizing a folder filled with favorites like I do with printed recipes and magazine pages...but I can't bring myself to tear up my cookbooks, lol.
