Such a robust recipe— we just made a loaf yesterday coincidentally- but had walnuts since we just bought a tub. Monica likes to grease the pan with coconut oil.

Karla, I sometimes add 2 tablespoons of yellow miso paste to the batter. It adds umami depth. Coconut oil is a great fat for greasing the pan.

I saved seeds from the one you sent but forgot to plant them this year. Next year for sure.

And I forgot that I sent you seed! Will be a fun experiment next summer...Also, have you tried the Ga. candy roaster? Kinda looks like a harbor seal, sweet creamy flesh.

YUM-mami! I'm new to miso paste. It's fermented soy - all I really know. But recently saw recipe for "Creamy Miso Pumpkin Soup" which would probably be yummy with your crook-neck roasted pumpkin. Calls for a lot of pumpkin - 1.2kg (2.8 lb) butternut pumpkin/squash, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 head of garlic, sliced in half across the cloves, 1 red onion, cut into wedges, 3 cups chicken stock (you can also substitute vegetable stock), 2 tbsp shiro miso, 4 tsp coconut cream, to serve (optional), black sesame seeds, to serve, sichimi togarashi*, to serve, sea salt

that sounds fab! 2.8 pounds will give you about 3 cups roasted flesh. Perfect amount for this soup.

Thanks, B! I'm thinking of doing something like the old days with a Thanksgiving Q+A. Perhaps I can rope you in...
