Pumpkin: Much more than an ornament

Your Halloween pumpkin, brightly coloured, nutritious and flavourful, doesn't have to end in the compost. Even if you've decorated it, you can still recoup the flesh to make soups, side dishes and seasonal desserts. You'll see – it's as easy as pie, so why not give our scrumptious meal ideas a try?

For the kids, plan a frightfully fun party!

When vampires, Martians and other unearthly creatures invade your home, it's party time for the kids. What's more, when the food includes pumpkin brains and frog dips, things can get a little wild! Use our birthday party planner to stock up on ideas that are as fun as they're mouth-watering.
