Whether roasted until tender, blended into a silky purée or folded into a soft cookie mixture, it offers plenty of possibilities beyond the familiar Halloween carving tradition.
This collection of sweet and savoury pumpkin recipe ideas brings together comforting suppers, simple seasonal sides and autumn-inspired treats. From roasted pumpkin and thyme soup to pumpkin pie and a homemade spiced latte, there is inspiration for making the most of the season in the kitchen.
