There are few pumpkin fanatics in this world, but Graham is one of them. In 1975 he bought a huge pumpkin at a Harvest Festival, but when he got it home he realised he had no idea how to cook it. The family would gather around the cookery department of the local bookshop, quickly making notes of marrow recipes, marrows being the nearest thing to pumpkins commonly available at that time.
So started a quest for ways to cook pumpkin. As his storytelling took him to far-off lands he gathered recipes from friends and hosts, and occasionally gathered pocketfuls of seeds. Now on his allotment he grows a wide variety of pumpkins with which he can test a variety of recipes, recipes that now appear in his book “More than just a pretty face”. Read this collection of recipes, then flip the book over to read pumpkins stories from around the world.
