Cover recipe from Sunset, October 2011
Pumpkin Soup with Pumpkin Seed- Mint Pesto
I love Sunset Magazine. I love that it’s full of travel stories and places I feel I must visit soon. I tear out pages and keep them in my “vacation” folder for times that my husband and I are looking for somewhere new to visit. The recipes in the magazine are almost always winners. Sometimes they’re recipes featured from places traveled, and sometimes they’re just features based on the season.
This month’s cover of Sunset Magazine- Living in the West is beautiful. There’s no doubt about that. It displays a pumpkin soup in miniature roasted pumpkins, with earthy fall dinnerware to boot. It’s perfect for October. The cover is highlighting Tasty Fall Soups & Stews- Recipes to Warm Up Your Weeknights.
There’s a lot more to the recipes in the food section of the magazine this month than just soups and stews. There are also quick & easy dinners, a few Moroccan recipes and a fall salad. The cover recipe actually comes from a feature on cooking with pumpkin called, “Beyond the Pie.” There is Cashew, Coconut and Pumpkin Curry, Pumpkin Gingersnap Ice Cream, Caramelized Orange Pumpkin Flan, and then there is this soup. Read my tips below to see what I thought of this cover recipe…
