Part of a series From Seed To Supper for what to grow, how to grow it and what to do with it once it's grown, the subject is winter squash and pumpkins. Winter squash (and pumpkins), a warm weather crop is called 'winter' because with their hard shells, they can be stored well into and through the winter. Hills and drills of squash will produce an abundance of fruit (and a heap of blossoms) that can be prepared on their own or transformed into side dishes, pies, cakes, puddings, preserves, ice cream and even pickles. Squash were first cultivated in pre-historic times for their nutritious seeds. With more than 85 recipes and procedures from seed planting to harvest and on to sweet buttered squash, pumpkin pie or seed eating, this book tells how!

About the Author
As a young boy, Jack couldn't wait for school to be out so he could go to grandma's farm. About time he got there, it would be thinning' time in grandma's garden. Jack would follow along behind grandma and pick up most of the rejected seedlings. Off he would rush to the back corner of the garden where grandma had prepared some space for him. He transplanted the little seedlings and tending them carefully, managed to keep most of them alive. Later, Jack was very proud to be able to present some of his vegetables and help cook them for grandpa's dinner.
Since then, no matter what he was doing or where he was, Jack managed to have something growing and cooking. Now, he brings this lifetime experience to you in his series of gardening cookbooks "From Seed To Supper" for good growing, good eating and good health! He will help you with what to grow, how to grow it and what to do with it once it's grown.

If you buy it; buy it only for the recipes,
This review is from: Winter Squash & Pumpkins From Seed To Supper (Paperback)
From the title you'd think your getting a book on how to grow squash for home use as food. "Winter Squahs & Pumpkins from Seed to Supper" is not this book. The descriptions on growing and harvesing are short and imprecise. However; this said the recipe section is quite good. The book has a good variety of recipes, and some very creative uses for Squash; pumpkin souffle anyone?
