Pumpkin - by Ryland Peters & Small (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A blustery fall evening calls for a large helping of something hearty, nourishing, and warming--and pumpkin is the ideal ingredient to deliver some warming comfort. Filling enough to leave you satisfied but ultimately a highly nutritious vegetable, it is a wonderful ingredient for use in many meals and desserts and the perfect tonic for a cold gray day. Roasting the bright orange flesh concentrates the flavor to an intensely sweet nuttiness, which whether combined with herbs and salty cheese or spiced with cinnamon and ginger is a delightful option for both sweet and savory dishes. Choose from Light Bites such as Spiced Pumpkin and Feta Phyllo Parcels, perfect for serving at a winter gathering to soak up a few hot toddies. Or the plentiful selection of warming Soups and Stews such as a velvety Red Lentil and Pumpkin Soup. Pasta and Rice paired with pumpkin is a classic combination, crowd-pleasing dishes include Pumpkin Gnocchi with Buttery Sage Breadcrumbs. Bread and Baking recipes include creative yet easy to master recipes such as Pumpkin Scones or cut Madeleine cakes. Finally, Desserts and Hot Drinks features sumptuous treats such as a Pumpkin Cheesecake and a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
