Pumpkin Symphony
a ppetit voyage
Pumpkin Symphony Inspiration Autumn is a beautiful season when you can see the Nature turning into red and amber. This is also a very productive time where we can enjoy a lot of delicious fruits and vegetables like mushrooms, apples, chestnuts or PUMPKIN! I have always been fascinated by this vegetable. I love its round shape and bright colour! Perhaps, it also because I remember the Cinderella fairy tale where the her fairy godmother turns a pumpkin into carriage,...and then your dreams come true! I would say that pumpkin is a kind of surprising box where you can hide some delicious food inside. There is also so much different kind of pumpkin with so different tastes that it makes it really like a non ending source of inspiration in the kitchen! Its origin is not clear, even if it seems to come from North America the oldest seeds were found in Mexico. In the region of Lyon is quite a popular vegetable during winter that inspired also the famous chefs like Paul Bocuse. For me, it is a vegetables I have been seeing at home since I am a kid, and learned from my grand mother and then on my own to cook it. It is part of the curcubitaceae family. You can find a wide range of different varieties with very different shape, colour and taste! My favourites are still the pumpkin and butternut! While in North America, Jack'o lanterns started to be carved and prepared to celebrate Halloween, I wanted to share with you some of my favourites recipes of pumpkin.
