As far as I have observed, pumpkin doesn't strongly feature in British cuisine. But in America, it's a seasonal favourite. We have the following pumpkin desserts available at this time of year: pie, cookies, cake, ice cream, muffins and cheesecake. And those are just the pumpkin varieties that immediately spring to mind! After hearing about this great recipe, I decided to go with the cookies. They turned out quite well, and I am already eager for another batch.

Enjoying the fruits of my labour
Or is pumpkin a vegetable?
Can I say the vegetables of my labour? Hmm...

Brooke: haven't yet pulled out 'It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' but need to get on it before Halloween.
ReplyDeleteLindsay: I am definitely challenged in the kitchen, but this recipe was pretty easy to make. It's the only one I've ever tried, so I don't have much to compare it to -- but I thought they were pretty tasty! The family agreed.
