5.0 out of 5 stars This recipe book is definitely worth a BUY! October 1, 2012

This book covers the full range of dishes from appetizers and side dishes to mains and desserts. The author gets some bonus marks for creativity as there are also a number of unique propositions that I warmly looking forward to trying such as pumpkin ice cream, cheesecake and soda. However to focus on just those recipes would be a disservice as the book has many delicious and healthy recipes covering soups, salads and mains.

There are pictures included in each recipe which makes each recipe in this book worth trying out. Having read a number of recipe books purchase on Amazon it was also refreshing to see a number pictures that showed that the author actually cooked the dish and has put a lot of thought into the recipes.

Also, there is a guide section in this book that shows you how to choose and prepare your pumpkin using a number of different methods which is very useful. So you can learn to steam a pumpkin, how to roast a pumpkin, making puree pumpkin and roasting seeds. This section will be of particular use to beginners just starting out.

With more than 40 original recipes, this professionally created book is definitely one to grab. It deserves a `buy' from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Grandma Started My Love of Pumpkin. This Book Extends That Love. October 1, 2012

My grandma would make what she called pumpkin bread but when I looked at the recipe it had enough sugar to qualify as pumpkin cake. It was so delicious and started my love for the pumpkin. I've learned how healthy pumpkin and it's seeds are.

This book has a wealth of ideas to use pumpkin in ways I never knew it could be used. I first saw the "Sides and Salads" Chapter and thought to myself "I've never even seen pumpkin used in fruit salad. Is it used in fruit salad? Do some people mix it in with lettuce salad?" I didn't see it mixed in with lettuce salad but the green bean pumpkin salad, pumpkin stuffed onions, and pumpkin potato skins look delicious.

I didn't even know pumpkin could be used in soup either.

As for main dishes the Pumpkin Couscous Casserole looks delectable. The chickpea, lentil and black bean recipes are also worth testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, thorough and well-written September 30, 2012

I have to admit, I'm new to cooking with pumpkins. I'd never done it before I read this book. But the instructions in "Easy Pumpkin Recipes" are clear, concise and easy to follow, and the authors thoroughly covered every stage of preparation, so you'll never be left wondering how to create your puree, cubes or other pumpkin ingredients.

The book is easy to navigate, with very professional formatting and smoothly-functioning hyperlinks. The recipes are grouped neatly into categories, making it easy to find the perfect dish for every occasion.

"Easy Pumpkin Recipes" features tantalizing pictures of the finished products, handy tips for perfecting the taste and presentation, and variations of some of the dishes. For those of you who hate to waste any part of your food, it also has instructions for roasting and seasoning the seeds.

I brought a couple of my pumpkin dishes to a recent family gathering, and received a lot of compliments for both of them. For anyone who's interested in cooking or baking with pumpkins, I definitely recommend this book.
