Creating culinary delights to impress family and friends is easy. All you need are everyday kitchen appliances like blenders and delicious recipes. Here are two tasty pumpkin recipes, using blenders and juice extractors, to create an appetizer and a dessert as accompaniments to the main course. Appetizer Whet appetites with delicious bowls of pumpkin soup that combine savory flavors of pan-fried pumpkin, veggies and a selection of spices. You will need pumpkin, carrots, celery, onion, roasted bell pepper and mashed potatoes for this soup. The rest of the ingredients are olive oil, vegetable broth, tomato puree, chopped garlic, ground ginger, nutmeg and cumin along with half a cup of cream, salt and pepper to taste and parsley for the garnish. Deseed the pumpkin and bake it in the oven. Toast the seeds and keep aside. Next, saute onions, carrots and celery till they become tender in a skillet with some olive oil. Add water and the vegetable broth to the pan. Puree this mixture along with the baked pumpkin in a blender to a smooth consistency. Use blenders that have a range of power settings to create different kinds of textures as desired. Light-weight immersion blenders are the best choice for soup as you can puree right in the pan. Add roasted bell peppers and mashed potatoes to thicken the soup. Mix in the spices, salt and pepper along with the cream. Garnish with parsley and toasted pumpkin seeds. Dessert Make some scrumptious pumpkin cheesecake squares as a sweet end to a well-cooked meal. You will need whole grain graham crackers and softened organic butter to make the crust. The filling needs softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla flavoring, orange juice, two beaten eggs, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Make crumbs by blending the graham crackers in the blender. Combine these crumbs with butter and line a baking pan or casserole dish with this mix. Bake the crust for about ten minutes. It's a good idea to use juice extractors to make fresh orange juice rather than a store-brought one. Citrus juice extractors are great choices when it comes to citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits or lemons with seeds. Mix the juice with the rest of the ingredients and blend it well. Pour this liquid mixture over the baked graham cracker crust and put it in the oven for an hour. Top with orange slices and dates. Cut the cheesecake into 3-inch squares and serve on a large serving platter. It's easy to make nutritious and delicious food at home when you choose the right recipes.
