Last year my wife wanted to take me to our favourite local restaurant
for dinner, but there was a cooking demonstration that night. Knowing
how much I like to cook, she booked that. One of the dishes they did was
pumpkin and butternut squash soup. It was incredible. Of all the
recipes they did that night, it was the first one I tried at home. It
was delicious.
