The Pumpkin Cookbook, 2nd Edition

This cookbook is great! I tried out some of the recipes this weekend and I loved them. My favorite so far is the orange banana pumpkin smoothie- it's so creamy and delicious! I also tried making the chicken pumpkin tacos, which were a big hit. I'll have to wait to try some of the other recipes because they call for fresh pumpkin & it's hard to find it in stores this time of year. This cookbook is definitely one of my favorite ones so far and I will definitely buy a copy to add to my collection.

Thank you Netgalley for this one!
 Oh my! This cookbook is filled with so many yummy and delicious pumpkin recipes . I absolutely loved the authors' introduction of the book. The way she shared tips and  pumpkin stories and history throughout made this cookbook even more enjoyable. Beautiful photographs of only some of the recipes in the book were provided. I would have liked a photo included with all the recipes. My favorites so far are the recipes for punkin' joes and pumpkin mashed potatoes. I am definitely excited to try others especially the northern Italian pumpkin Lasagna also, the white bean chicken and pumpkin chili. 
Full of really great ideas for how to cook your fall pumpkins or can even substitute pumpkin for squash. If you love pumpkin, fall recipes, tips and ideas this cookbook is an absolutely must for adding to your collection. It's just everything pumpkin fabulous!

I only recently discovered pumpkin in the last few years and I LOVE IT, WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO TRY IT?!?!  I jumped at the opportunity to read this book.

This cookbook is incredible. Stovel includes a plethora of delicious sounding recipes, and not just desserts. I can't wait to try some of these out. Included in this book are gorgeous photographs of some of the dishes and fall scenes. Stovel also provides some snippets of information on the versatile pumpkin, Halloween, and more.

Pumpkins, most of us have eaten them in various ways. We see them in coffee, cookies, and soups. I love Pumpkin in many recipes, cook with it often, and will readily admit Autumn is my favorite season. Food, cooking for others, is my love-language so I was beyond thrilled to get The Pumpkin Cookbook, 2nd Edition, by DeeDee Stovel. 

This is not a lightweight endeavor. The book is simply visually stunning, full of images that are bright, beautiful, evoking the ingredients, recipes, season. It's a big, colorful, book that spans a vast variety of offerings. From first read you realize this is THE Pumpkin Cookbook. DeeDee Stovel knows her subject, loves her craft, and conveys both in a way that is easily accessible to both experienced chefs and new cooks alike. The recipes are well presented and throughly explained in a thoughtful manner. The book is chock-full of practical informative advise on equivalencies from fresh to canned, how to prepare several ways, store, and freeze. All is easily accessible and referenced up front, not hidden within individual recipes. This is something I constantly hunt for, and I zeroed in on right away. Well done, and thank you!

There are sweet, savory, recipes you are hoping will be included, and recipes that are totally unexpected that you absolutely can not wait to try. From drinks to appetizers, soups to sides, main dishes to desserts, everything is covered! A few of my favorite recipes; Southwest Chicken Pumpkin Soup, Wild Mushroom Pumpkin Risotto, Apple Cranberry Pumpkin Stuffing, Creamy Fusilli Sausage and Pumpkin, and Pumpkin Panna Cotta. I can't wait to try more of these amazing recipes as I work my way through. If you buy one new cookbook this season I highly recommend The Pumpkin Cookbook by DeeDee Stovel. It's a wonderful addition to any kitchen as well as a great gift.
