Halloween Recipes from the Thai Kitchen

Start with Soup (Served in a Pumpkin!):

This Thai Pumpkin and Prawn Soup is wickedly delicious! Vegetarians can substitute chick peas for the prawns without losing any flavor or nutrients. To make it every more Halloween-y, consider serving it in a small, carved-out pumpkin (or pumpkin-like squash). I did this at my last Halloween party, and it was a big hit. Pumpkin-carving and presentation instructions are included with the recipe.

Main Course: Vegetarian Thai Pumpkin Curry :

For the main course, serve Thai Pumpkin Curry Infused with Citrus. This vegetarian curry will wow your taste-buds! You can substitute squash for pumpkin (if you want to save your pumpkin for other things!). Enjoy!

Dessert Option #1: Thai Pumpkin Custard (Baked in a Pumpkin):

This special Thai Pumpkin Custard (Baked in a Pumpkin) makes a terrific Halloween centerpiece! Enjoy it with a splash of maple syrup and/or brandy (or your favorite liqueur).

Dessert Option #2: Easy Black Sesame Pudding:

This darkly delicious Black Sesame Dessert is quick and easy to make, yet it will chill and thrill with its black color and liquid-gooey texture. It also happens to be very healthy and nutritious. Enjoy!
