    6 Squash Recipes This Thanksgiving

    Taste of the season : Squash

    The winter squash, in abundance these days and comes backed with a rich history and so many uses, this fleshy fruit is the reason for so many events, and is the core ingredient to so many delightful recipes too.

    Where the squash came from has always been a bit of a mystery, but it is thought to have originated in North America where the Native Americans used them in cooking, medicines and even for furniture uses where they used the pumpkin rinds to make mats.

    Over the years, chefs have become more and more experimental with their uses of fruit and vegetables, and the use of the squash is no exception. Butternut squash chutney in particular is a very popular side dish to go with seasonal cheese boards, where the sweetness of the squash complements the strength of the cheeses beautifully.
