Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin—but I’m not talking about pumpkin-flavored everything from the grocery store. Pumpkin is a wonderfully versatile ingredient in the kitchen, and it deserves better than being relegated to coffee and packaged snacks.

Over the years, I’ve used pumpkin in everything from creamy pasta and chili to pizza dough, focaccia, popovers and, of course, plenty of sweets. I’ve gathered some of my favorites together in one place.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
