Yup, it stops the zukes from turning ugly grey...
And the book *does* use very authentic recipes, and in this one the zucchini puree stays a bright, vibrant green. I still see the added baking soda in some "modern" recipes, where keeping the colour is important. Given that we get (or should be getting) sufficient vitamin C and other nutrients from other sources in our regular diet, no one is likely to suffer because one dish is leached of its vitamins by a little baking soda. However, if you come to love to love this dish so much it's all you eat, maybe a vitamin C tab for dessert is recommended. smileys/smile.gif
