I love pumpkin! I liked that this cookbook includes lots of different ways to cook with pumpkin beyond pie, cake, and bread.

Do you love pumpkin? we tend to get a lot of pumpkin from our garden in the fall and I never know quite what to do with it all besides pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread.

Here are some fun new recipes to try!

My kids loved being taste testers to this fun book. I did convert them to gluten-free and dairy-free and I'm pleased to say that most of them did amazing with these substitutions. Some became crumbly with the substitute of coconut oil for butter. Also, applesauce can be used for the eggs but you might need to eat with a fork.

There are 139 different recipes and a vast majority of them are not desserts and snacks. I was excited to try using pumpkin in main meals like chilli. The soups were particular favorites of mine.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

Thank you Netgalley for my review copy.

At first glance, this recipe book looked quite exciting. I made a couple of the recipes and they were pretty good - the Caribbean soup was nice. However, there were quite a few that didn't interest me and a couple that I wouldn't consider making as it included ingredients that I can't get here in the UK and did not give suitable alternatives.
I think that this cookbook must be for US primarily which is why it does not translate well.

Pumpkin, glorious pumpkin! This is a comprehensive cookbook that lists many ways to use pumpkin in dishes that I'd never imagined (since my previous pumpkin experience consisted of pumpkin bread). For those that like sweet recipes, this book has them, too. Pumpkin can do so much more than sweet (although I have to admit that sweet pumpkin treats are still my favorite)!

Looking forward to trying some of these recipes but will have to wait as fresh pumpkin isn't in season right now and canned/tinned pumpkin isn't available in the UK supermarkets I use!

I was hoping to review this book once I actually tried out a few recipes but last fall my pumpkins did not grow :( But I am looking forward to next fall and trying these recipes. I love the pictures and the recipes seem doable and eatable - not just fancy for the sake of the book.

I found some fantastic recipes in this book that my family enjoyed. Unfortunately, the majority of recipes in it were for savoury vs sweet treats which were what my family prefers when it comes to pumpkin. That being said the recipes were easy to follow and gave us some great alternatives to squash!

I love pumpkin and there were lots of recipes in this book I enjoyed/will enjoy. Such an amazing sweet and savory vegetable to make a cookbook out of!

Beautiful cookbook with interesting recipes. The author did a great job in describing the recipes & the instructions were easy to follow.

Enjoyed this cookbook.

These 139 recipes offer diverse and delicious options for enjoying pumpkin and other winter squash, such as butternut, acorn, and kabocha, year-round. With recipes for many forms of pumpkin, including both fresh and canned pumpkin puree, and inspired by world cuisines, the versatility of this superfood shines through in snacks, drinks, salads, soups, main dishes, and desserts.



Review:

I love pumpkin and squash and relish this time of year. In fact, I think it's such a shame to see all the pumpkins that just get carved for Halloween and discarded, when all that yumminess could've been used for so many different recipes.



This is a fantastic book. It's full of different ways to use pumpkins and squashes to create delicious savoury and sweet dishes. Wild mushroom pumpkin risotto and chocolate pumpkin brownies are particular favourites, although I do love the soups too.

The comforting dishes are prefect for the autumn and winter seasons here in the the UK and I'm sure many of them will become familiar favourites in my kitchen.

I'll start by saying that I'm <b>obsessed</b> with pumpkins. Ever since I was a child, I couldn't wait to visit the markets and patches to pick our ginormous, orange beauties for the year. Well, now we grow our own and always have an abundance of pumpkin and winter squash to store and cook over the winter, so when I saw this book, I had to read it.

This has to be one of the most thorough pumpkin cookbooks I've found that covers the different types of pumpkins, storing, preparing, cooking them and so much more. There are facts about pumpkins included as well as tons of recipes. The only subject I would've liked more on is canning it, but that's a fairly simple process we're already familiar with.

So far, we love the roasted corn pumpkin chowder, traditional pie, breads, and mashed potatoes with pumpkin. We ended up buying the book and if you love pumpkin, this cookbook is a staple in the kitchen. I can't wait to try every single recipe and the recipes we've cooked so far have all been keepers.

I wasn't able to download it, so I can't give my opinion,

Who says pumpkin is just for pies? While you will find seven different varieties of pie alone, The Pumpkin Cookbook offers pumpkin dishes in every category you can possibly think of to add to your fall menus. I do usually prefer my pumpkin to be in desert, but I am not opposed to putting it in chili or soup, or a myriad of other dishes. Pumpkin is not only tasty it is good for you! The Pumpkin Cookbook will help you add in more of this delicious food to all aspects of your meal! I recommend this book to pumpkin lovers who love to cook!

I requested this book because my son loves pumpkin. Pumpkin that comes in any way. This book was a pleasure to read and drool over. With Halloween and Thanksgiving approaching I'll be in the kitchen making these recipes.

Pumpkin lovers rejoice! This book is packed with wonderful pumpkin recipes. Wonderful pictures through the book add a great touch.

This cookbook is definitely something you would want to add to your collection of cusine books! It is simply great! I tried out some of the recipes and i must say that, so far, i've loved them all. It would be a great book to use during fall season i think. I strongly recommend it

we missed the download, kindle trouble! so we never got a chance to review this properly. But we love pumpkin and a cookbook featuring this lovely squash is a great idea. it will be great for Thanksgiving

Veteran cookbook author, DeeDee Stovel has released The Pumpkin Cookbook, 2nd Edition: 139 Recipes Celebrating the Versatility of Pumpkin and Other Winter Squash , which is excellent, and contains both the expected pumpkin bread and cookie recipes, as well as innovative unique ways to prepare this incredible fall and winter squash. Most of the recipes are fairly easy, and the recipes are succinct and easy to understand.

Although everyone loves the conventional fall pumpkin bread, Stovel has made pumpkin breads and cakes even better with a variety of better-than-expected offerings such as Pumpkin Popovers, Spicy Cranberry Pecan Pumpkin Muffins, and Orange Pumpkin Pancakes. Her recipe for Banana Pumpkin Nut Bread combines two beloved breads, and the result is delicious. While there is a regular (and excellent) conventional Pumpkin Pie recipe, there are also several other mouthwatering pies made with pumpkin, such as Southern Pumpkin Pie with a gooey pecan topping (Yum!) and a Pumpkin Chess Pie. Cookies and bars made with pumpkin include Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Crisps, Graham Cracker Pumpkin Tannies (a personal favorite), and Orange Walnut Pumpkin Bars to name a few.

Even though the sweets are spectacular in this cookbook, the biggest draw is the variety of main and side dishes made with pumpkin. Pumpkin is a delicious winter squash and Stovel adds it to soups (Thai Pumpkin Soup, Caribbean Black Bean Pumpkin Soup, Harvest Pumpkin Soup, etc.) , stews – one yummy one is actually served in a pumpkin, and salads made with couscous and a Roasted Potato and Pumpkin Salad. Some of the best main dishes include Mexican Pumpkin Lasagna, a Pumpkin Pizza with Gorgonzola, and Meatloaf with a Pumpkin Glaze. Some of the recipes utilize pepitas (pumpkin seeds), like the Grilled Salmon with Pepita Crust. The dozens of side dishes are suitable for serving with almost every fall menu imaginable.

All told, anyone who likes winter squash (which is about everyone) will enjoy this excellent cookbook. Of course other types of winter squashes can be substituted, and some of the recipes call for the canned variety, so it will be easy for everyone to make a good pumpkin main dish, dessert, salad, or side dish. There are enough recipes for cooks to stay busy from fall all the way through winter.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

As the author states in her introduction, she usually gets 2 reactions to her writing a pumpkin cookbook: either "I love pumpkin" or "Why are you writing about pumpkins?" I am definitely in the 1st category and this valuable cookbook is right up my alley. Roasted, steamed, raw, seeds, delicious recipes with great pictures make this a must book for my shelf.

When I saw that The Pumpkin Cookbook was available for review, I was so excited! I don’t want to wish away the summer quite yet, but the fall and all of those yummy foods that come along with it are my absolute favourites. What is notable about this book of pumpkin inspired recipes is the fact that there are many ideas to incorporate the nutritious benefits of this vegetable all year long.

I always like to try a few of the recipes for my reviews because knowing whether or not the instructions are clear and easy to follow is key to any cookbook. Also, taste is a big factor here, and I can honestly say that The Pumpkin Cookbook delivers in its ability to provide simple, tasty recipes for all of the pumpkin-loving chefs out there.

It is sometimes difficult to assess the quality of the images in an eARC, however, I was quite pleased with this one and its ability to convey all of the different types of pumpkins and pumpkin dishes that are included in the recipes. There are some stunning pictures that will absolutely have you drooling for one of those delicious pumpkin breads.

Not only is this a book of recipes and ideas for creating meals and pumpkin inspired treats, it is a guide on all things pumpkin. Readers will learn how to select, store, and prepare pumpkins for enjoyment year round. I have bookmarked so many recipes, that I am definitely considering purchasing a copy of this book.
