It’s amazing that even though you’re running a restaurant, you update the blog so much. Very impressive and much appreciated, I love reading this blog!

As I don’t think the Iron bark pumpkin is widely available over here, I was wondering if I can just use any other pumpkin instead for this recipe?
Thanks!

Hi Hendrik,
You could use any variety of pumpkin or squash. My advise is to ensure that it’s ripe, the riper the sweeter and better tasting your soup.

Happy Cooking,
Madalene

Hi Maddy and Ross,

This looks fantastic and I’ll use my last big garden pumpkin to make it today for lunch! Thank you as always for your lovely recipes and beautiful photography. Happy Christmas!

Always my favourite soup!

I hope the snow disappears a little so I can get there on the 29th.

I’ve waited ages to try your lovely-looking food, and I’m taking advantage of being at my mother-in-law’s, near Saxmundham, to get over and experience the BL for myself!

We never had time when we had the restaurant, so this is a lovely treat before we get back into the catering game once more.
