About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

From Rhode Island Gardens to Your Table: Recipes from URI Master Gardeners

I followed all of the directions except that I cut the curry powder from 5 teaspoons to 2, and for me it had the perfect balance of sweetness from the apples and apple cider, smoothness thanks to my immersion blender, and richness from the ½ cup of cream. With tow whole roasted butternut squash, this made a big batch of soup. I did not think it needed the dollop of sour cream on top. Well worth doing again and would work well as a first course for a special occasion.

I like that the amount of squash was specified by weight. This was a sweet casserole with brown sugar and butter. It was quite good, but I was in the mood for something more savory. However it would make a great accompaniment to ham. Teh recipe worked fine, but you want to be sure you evenly give out the big pieces of squash and apple.
