The Pumpkin Cookbook by DeeDee Stovel is a perfect recipe book for fall! 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.

Review: The Pumpkin Cookbook by DeeDee Stovel
Pumpkin-Ginger Ice Cream
❀ Tasty Recipes
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.

❀ Stunning Pictures
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.

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.

The pumpkin-ginger ice cream looks really delicious! <3
It is my favourite of the recipes of that I have tried so far! 🙂
Ooh we planted pumpkin again this yeat and I’m tired of the same old recipes super excited that you liked this cookbook!
I planted a few pumpkin seed this year as well, but I am still waiting for some fruit to pop up. I hope that you find this book as yummy as I do, if you do decide to give it a try. 🙂
The Pumpkin Ginger Ice Cream looks so yummy! 🙂
It is!! You would love it, for sure! 🙂
When I saw the title I was a bit ‘why would anyone need that many pumpkin recipes?’ but then I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin. A lot of these do sound really good though.
It is amazing how many recipes are in this book. Some of them only have a hint of pumpkin, so for those who are looking for the health benefits without the flavour this book can provide it. The black bean dip had no hint of pumpkin flavour, actually. 😉
Seeing as my go-to way of cooking pumpkin involves a pot of boiling water I think I need this book. The ice-cream looks delicious.
Hahaha! That is how I cook my vegetables quite often, actually. It is time-consuming to create elaborate side dishes sometimes, right?!
I like pumpkin, but I don’t eat a lot of it. Some of these recipes would be a jump for my picky taste buds, but some of them sound really good!
This one is definitely catering to pumpkin fans. 😉
Pumpkins in Ireland tend to be just for Halloween decoration so I’d love to learn more about them.
thanks for your review. ohhhh I love pumpkin and I love to cook with it. this is a must see
