Pumpkins and squashes herald the start of autumn, when thoughts turn to cooking warming, nourishing food. This is when these versatile ingredients shine. Varieties are countless, but worth a special mention are crown prince, butternut and - my favourite - delica, with its dense, intensely sweet, rich and buttery flesh. Always look for bright skin without blemishes and ensure it is firm to the touch.
Everyone loves a brownie and my family is no exception. I wanted to make a traditional brownie even gooier by adding in the cooked pumpkin and I think this works really well. This is a new-generation crowd-pleaser.
