I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

  6. Baking:

PUMPKIN PIE VARIATIONS:

  1. Maple Pecan Pumpkin Pie:
    • Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the pumpkin filling before baking.
    • Drizzle the top with a few tablespoons of maple syrup before serving for added sweetness and nutty flavor.
  2. Coconut Pumpkin Pie:
    • Replace the coconut milk with full-fat coconut cream for an extra rich and coconutty flavor.
  3. Gingerbread Pumpkin Pie:
    • Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves to the pumpkin filling for a warm and spicy twist.
    • For the crust, consider using a gingerbread cookie crust for an extra ginger kick.
  4. Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Pie:
    • Melt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate and swirl it into the pumpkin filling before baking.
    • Use a chocolate pie crust for an additional chocolatey element.
