Don’t Waste Your Pumpkin: Innovative Recipes and Projects, from Stalk to Base

Supermarkets are stuffed full of pumpkins in the run-up to Halloween. So many people just carve them for Jack-o’-lanterns then throw away the seeds and leftover flesh, not knowing how easily they can be cooked and eaten.

Don’t Waste Your Pumpkin offers all sorts of tasty recipes to make use of every part of the pumpkin and majors on avoiding waste. There are also simple craft projects to take you beyond the usual carving traditions and celebrate all kinds of pumpkin.

There’s so much more to the cosy autumn season than pumpkin spice!
