When we were in Rome last year, we had some fantastic zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, batter dipped and fried. I want to make those at some point, but for my first attempt at cooking with them, I want to do something easier, so I decided to put them on a pizza.

First though, I had to figure out how and when to pick them. A quick Google search revealed that there are both male and female blossoms. There are more male ones, which are there strictly for pollination (of course), than there are female ones. The female ones create the vegetable (of course).
