The butternut squash is a hybrid from the 1940’s prized for its soft texture, and the ease in
which it grows. This beautifully orange gourd is a perennial favourite for autumnal soup or
baked as a side-dish. This fall, explore the versatility of the Butternut Squash by allowing it
to take center stage on your dinner plate!
The inspiration for the accompanying recipes comes from my desire to take the idea of
pumpkin spice, and throw in a little bit of playfulness to allow for the reimagining of the
sometimes maligned autumnal trend, so it may be transformed into something we can
enjoy outside the confines of the tooth- achingly sweet cookie or latte.
Nutritionally speaking, this winter squash contains good levels of Vitamin A, E, and C,
good amounts of folate, thiamin & niacin, and butternut squash packs more potassium
than that of a banana.
