Seed To Supper

Winter squash (and pumpkins), a warm weather crop, is called 'winter' because with their hard shells, they can be stored well into and through the winter. Hills and drills of squash will produce an abundance of fruit (and a heap of blossoms) that can be prepared on their own or transformed into pies, cakes, puddings, preserves, ice cream and even pickles. Squash were first cultivated in pre-historic times for their nutritious seeds. With more than 85 recipes and procedures from seed planting to harvest and on to sweet buttered squash, pumpkin pie or seed eating, this book tells how!
