Tips

  • Cooking Vegetarian? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • If you can’t find a tin of pumpkin purée in the supermarket, replace with smooth peanut butter for a nutty version.
  • Pumpkin flavoured soft cheese is a delicious spread. Try it on bagels, toast or crumpets.
