Once autumn has arrived, you start seeing brightly-coloured pumpkins everywhere. I'm a squash lover and try out all kinds of dishes with this autumnal fare. We're all familiar with butternut squash soup, but have you ever tried pickled squash? It's heavenly alongside a delicious raclette. Or you can simply serve it with a cold evening meal.
