Pumpkin is versatile

The fall-summoning powers of the pumpkin are legendary. The smell of pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread immediately brings to mind a feeling of home, like being inside a warm, snug house on a cold, rainy day.

Or coolish rainy day, if you’re in south Louisiana.

But, as these recipes show, pumpkin is so much more versatile than just bread and pie. Though there’s absolutely nothing in the world wrong with a good pumpkin pie.
