Looks great, the sort of dish you’d get from Ottolenghi and inspiration for what to do with the pumpkin sitting in the garage. Why did I buy it? I think I was going to attempt pumpkin pie, but I forget it till I wander in there to shake the sloe gin jars and then I see it waving at me. 🙂

No Joanna, do the pie! I have pumpkin pie on the agenda too, and having not done one before I would love to see what you come up with. It’s waving at you, saying pick the pie, pick the pie…
