Jamie's garden has a bumper crop of fascinating varieties of pumpkin and squash. Jamie takes them to the kitchen and makes a mouth watering warm winter salad of roast duck and pumpkin w/an Asian-style dressing. Next up is a hearty winter pumpkin soup followed by some delicate pumpkin fairy cakes.
The secret to happy dieting? Count the flavor, not the calories with fast and delicious fruit vinegars, caramelized veggies, a citrusy halibut salad, even a bit of rich zabaglione with strawberries. Heaven (not heavy)!
