Pumpkin cookoff was held on the 21st of October, at Blühaus. Although people seemed pretty jazzed about it, there were only three competitors, sadly. Nevertheless we all enjoyed ourselves — we definitely had a beer & wine surplus.

Malloreigh: "I Thai'd Indian'd it" coconut curry with pumpkin, jackfruit, & kale, served over jasmine rice with peas, cinnamon, & cardamom; garnished with coconut flakes & dried cranberries
Jen: "the nutty pumpkin king" baked pumpkin in a dusting of cheese, breadcrumb, & fresh herb; served with a dip of walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dill, & sour cream

That pie looks delightful! I really miss the cook-offs. I also miss people that are vegan. I wanted to try and start vegan cook-offs on the coast but with most people scrounging for money around here it's too hard for most people. Keep me informed, maybe I'll show up at a cook-off next year sometime. At least the blog keeps me satiated.
