Start by introducing the recipe for Caribbean zucchini bread.

Show the zucchini received from a neighbor and mention the garden's bounty.

Crack 4 eggs into a mixing bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of vegetable oil to the eggs, noting that it seems like a lot but is necessary for three loaves.

Add 1 teaspoon of coconut extract and 1 teaspoon of rum extract to the mixture.

Mix the wet ingredients together until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Add 3 cups of shredded, drained zucchini to the batter and mix gently until incorporated.
