>How do you cook those little pumpkins, both orange and white?

Just as you would larger pumpkins, but for less time. That is, you can
halve (de-seed) and roast them like a squash; or peel, cut up and
simmer/steam for puree. Julia Child (Mastering, Vol II) has a lovely
recipe for pumpkin soup baked in the shell, which would probably be
just fine with the small varieties. The method is to cut a lid as for
a jack-o-lantern, remove seeds and strings, fill with a mixture of
sauted onion & breadcrumbs, seasonings, diced/grated cheese, and
cream; put the lid back on and bake. The specifics of the recipe are
for a 4-5lb pumpkin or squash, so timing and amounts would vary.
