Halloween is around the corner and if you enjoy this seasonal event you’ll no doubt be carving a few pumpkins with the family. Below are a few examples of the kind of art you can create. We spotted pumpkin carver Simon Mcminnis busy working away on his Joe Swift (Gardener’s World fame) masterpiece as we explored the Malvern Autumn Show.
While carving is great fun it can also be a lot of fun cooking with this incredible fruit that often gets overlooked here in the UK. If you don’t like the idea of food going to waste and are fed up of pumpkin soup, how about making a Hereford Beef and Pumpkin stew?
