Default Pumpkin

I like Jamie Oliver's Pumpkin Rice Laksa Soup. It's on his web site:

and I also occasionally do pumpkin yeast bread:

I love roasted pumpkin with a little bit of olive oil or butter; it's
good with beef roast and chicken.

I put together a risotto using cubes of pumpkin a few weeks ago... just
trying to think what else I put in it! About 100g arborio rice, maybe
150; cooked in strong vegetable stock with about 1 c pumpkin cubes, a
couple of handsful of frozen peas tossed in at the end. Sorry, bit
useless when I don't write things down! It was one of those 'what I have
on hand' meals.

Frozen, cooked pumpkin with some cinnamon and a little coconut milk
makes a lovely smoothie.

A few ideas for you, anyway.
