Wow!!! A friend bought me this cookbook as a gift, and I absolutely love it!!! Where do I begin? The pumpkin cream chocolate cups are like Reese's cups with pumpkin instead of peanut butter. I wish I wasn't allergic to coffee, because the pumpkin latte looks divine. Pumpkin cheesecake crescents -- I've died and went to heaven. Pumpkin streusel coffee cake is to die for. Seriously. Your family will think you slaved for hours, yet it's so simple. Pumpkin cheesecake french toast, anyone? YUM. Pumpkin crepes with brown-sugar filling...are you kidding? I'm all over that!!! And it doesn't end there...soups, appetizers, desserts, breads, soups, bisque, side dishes, and entrees...this cookbook has it all. I haven't made the pumpkin cream puffs, but they're next on my list. As is the creamy pumpkin tiramisu. I've always want to learn how to make tiramisu, and now's my chance. Can't wait!!! I'm making it for Thanksgiving. --Sue Coleta
