This is so interesting and useful, Ellen. There are many squashes I haven’t tried. On a visit to Japan last year we visited a restaurant where all the food was centered around kabocha, from savory to sweet—soups, salty snacks, cookies and cakes. It was a fun and delicious experience!
This is a completely fascinating report! I had no idea about the benefits associated with these vegies! I'm not much of a cook, but the health benefits sound so important, I might give these pumpkins and gourds a try!
I really enjoyed reading your newest piece on different types of squashes! The detailed descriptions of each variety were so informative and I'm going to have to try some. Thank you for such an inspiring and well-crafted written article!

I admire the Japanese restaurants- less is more- they tend to focus on one food and execute it in its best form
So true!
Just in case you might be interested, here’s a link to the piece I wrote that mentions kabocha: https://open.substack.com/pub/ruthtalksfood/p/tasting-fall-in-japan?r=159j4&utm_medium=ios

yes, toss in olive oil and shove in the oven- no higher skills needed 😂
Thank you for introducing me to a new gourd. I wonder if I can find it in my neck of the woods?
A dumpling squash would be similar to a delicata- but challenge yourself to work with any interesting variety you might find
