Pumpkin scones
Pumpkin and squash are great sources of vitamin A and contain potassium. Pumpkins are a member of the Cucurbita family which includes squash and cucumbers.
Did you know that the flowers of the pumpkin are actually edible? Did you know that pumpkins are 90 per cent water?
These pumpkin scones are light and fluffy and freeze really well.
Thank you to my friend Peveline for sharing this pumpkin scone recipe with me, which she got from her mother-in-law. Love those kinds of recipes. Do you have a favourite pumpkin recipe? Or what about a favourite scone recipe? We would love to hear from you.
Kumara and carrot soup
Wow is it getting a bit wintery or what? When the weather turns cold the first thing I want to make are soups and stocks. Here is my latest recipe for a kumara and carrot soup.
Kumara are available all year round, but I love making fragrant warming winter soups with them. Kumara has been grown and eaten in New Zealand since the Maori first arrived. Did you know that the kumara is the 7th most popular vegetable in New Zealand.
