About

Like zucchini in the summer, hard squashes are plentiful in the winter. They make sweet soups and purées and are also good baked in gratins and fried.

Lightly frying preserves the chewy texture and rich taste. The arcs of golden-colored squash or pumpkin garnished with finely chopped herbs make a beautiful warm appetizer for a fall or winter dinner, followed perhaps by the Chestnut and Lentil Soup and an endive salad with walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese.
