As Brian Glover explains in this beautiful book, there are myriad varieties of squash they range from tiny, finger-sized courgettes to huge heavyweight pumpkins. What they all have in common is that they are an amazingly versatile ingredient, as demonstrated in his exciting collection of recipes. For a snack try something from Light Bites recipes include Spiced Squash and Feta Filo Parcels. A chapter of Soups and Salads features winter warmers and summer treats, including spicy Pumpkin and Coconut Soup. Rice, Pasta and Grains are perfect for midweek meals. Delicious recipes include Pumpkin Risotto with Sage and Pancetta and Pasta with Courgette, Mint, Lemon and Cream. Satisfying Main Courses include Moroccan-style Chicken and Butternut Squash Tagine with Buttered Couscous and a hearty Beef Stew with Squash, Chilli, Tomato and Pumpkin Seeds. Finally, Sweet Things and Preserves include delicious treats such as Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Pie.
