Slashfood Ate (8): Culinary approaches to the pumpkin

Pumpkins
For me, pumpkins conjure up memories of going pumpkin picking, and going on hay rides, drinking hot apple cider, and eating as many candy apples as possible. When I reminisce the days of my childhood when I'd paint faces on Halloween pumpkins, I think about how unfortunate it was that I never cooked them.

Growing up, pumpkins were merely symbolic of the season. Many people, like myself when I was younger, are not aware of the many different ways pumpkins can be consumed besides in a pumpkin pie. Pumpkins are a type of squash. They're pleasantly sweet.

Below are 8 culinary approaches to the pumpkin:
  1. Pumpkin and yellow split pea soup
  2. Pumpkin lasagne
  3. Pumpkin flan with spiced pumpkin seeds
  4. Pumpkin nutmeg dinner rolls
  5. Pumpkin seed brittle
  6. Pumpkin risotto
  7. Oven-roasted pumpkin
  8. Pumpkin custard profiteroles with maple caramel
