	The look absolutely melt in your mouth fantastic - I also love anything pumpkin flavoured, looking fwd to a month of recipes for some new ideas Ange — Wednesday 10th May 2006 6:58 pm
	I'm a big pumpkin fan too. I find they are more filling than most vegetables, maybe they are very starchy ,they are also extremely versatile. I had a wonderful pumpkin veloute at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant recently and still dream about it! Your recipe is a more interesting take on the more common potato croquettes which for some reason I used to eat a lot of as a child. I will have to give it a try, although it is not pumpkin season over here in London, I think it starts in October, gastrochick — Wednesday 10th May 2006 7:44 pm
	My husband hates pumpkin...and leeks! barbara — Wednesday 10th May 2006 9:14 pm
	Why thank you, Pumpkin! :o) I adore pumpkin and even planted some a few years ago. I can almost taste how crispy these croquettes are ... and I cannot wait to see what other pumpkin recipes you have up your sleeve. Bring on the pumpkin! Ivonne — Thursday 11th May 2006 2:47 am
	I agree with you, pumpkin is a food no one cannot like! ;-) Lovely recipe! I can tell you are in fall now. Bea at La Tartine Gourmande — Thursday 11th May 2006 3:35 am
	Bron, This looks fabulous! What a great idea and the combination with the plum sauce is to die for! ~Dianka http://na-zdravi.blogspot.com/ Dianka — Thursday 11th May 2006 5:00 am
	Hi Bron, Thanks for the meme tag. Another great photo. One of the very popular dishes we've done is a kumera and macadamia croquette. We serve them with a plum sauce as well. The sweetness of kumera matches well the plum sauce, and the macadamia nuts give some crunch to the texture and a balance of flavour. When they are rolled in some shredded coconut it gives it a wonderful balance , as well as keeping it gluten free. (rather than the breadcrumbs.) Cheers, Paul Paul — Thursday 11th May 2006 10:16 pm
	Thanks Ange, I hope you enjoy my other pumpkin offerings too, so pleased to find others who love pumpkins as much as me! That must have been some 'pumpkin veloute' Gastrochick, to still be dreaming about it! Wish I could try some too! Oh dear Barbara, that's no good, he wouldn't like it around us at the moment, as we are practically living on leeks and pumpkins! Thank you Ivonne, pumpkins are fun and rather easy to grow, although I find home grown ones harder to store unfortunately. Oh yes it's most definitely fall / autumn here now Bea, and we've had our first frost, brrrr! Can't wait for it to snow though! Thank you Dianka, the plum sauce is a great match, it's so yummy with them. Hi Paul, thanks, haha Glenn and I must have great minds then hey?! I take it Glenn Andrews is still your head chef at Alchemy? Afraid I'm not hugely fond of coconut though, I'll eat it, but find it irritates my throat somewhat unfortunately. Thanks to you all and your lovely comments! bron — Thursday 11th May 2006 10:55 pm
	Hi Bron, Really love your blog. I'm trying this: http://eatingyear.blogspot.com/2006/05/antipodean-blogging-by-post.html If you think it's a good idea I'd love it if you'd spread the word on your blog. Thanks Kes — Thursday 11th May 2006 11:47 pm
	This looks great - one to file away as the UK pumpkin season is still a little way off. I hope by the time autumn comes around, I remember the soup. Silverbrow — Friday 12th May 2006 4:30 am
	Superb photo - but not good enough to make me want to eat pumpkin. Yep, a fool reads your blog! Andrew — Friday 12th May 2006 2:53 pm
	Bron, it's something of a shame you live on the other side of the world. Just as spring vegetables arrive here, you get deluged with glorious fall gourds. I love croquettes, by the way, and I think yours look and sound delicious. Can't wait to see your Thai soup, and the many other glorious pumpkin recipes you come up with. rob — Friday 12th May 2006 7:15 pm
	Oh my god. That looks AMAZING!! Do you think I could use canned pumpkin puree? of course with the addition of cumin, I could die and go to heaven. My Life As A Reluctant Housewife Gabriella True — Monday 15th May 2006 4:52 pm
	Love the picture - this looks like an interesting twist to pumpkin! Joe — Wednesday 17th May 2006 4:23 pm
	Hi Kes, Thanks for that, I'm definitely interested in an ANZAC version of blogging by mail, will be in touch. Thanks Silverbrow, hope you are enjoying some lovely spring weather up there. Hehe Andrew, I doubt you're the only 'fool' reading my blog. Actually I'll let you in on a little secret... I too, used to be a fool, but thankfully saw the error of my ways. Indeed Rob, it is a shame to be in different seasons, you're all teasing me with your strawberries and asparagus!! Hi and welcome Gabriella True, thank you so much for lovely comment. And no I see no reason why you couldn't use canned pumpkin puree, it may be a little softer is all. Thanks Joe! bron — Thursday 18th May 2006 9:58 pm
	Okay! Thanks for the response. Gabriella True — Tuesday 23rd May 2006 7:34 pm

	[...] So to recap… we had a little â€˜Amuse-Boucheâ€™ or an appetizer in the Pumpkin and Cumin seed Croquettes, weâ€™ve had the Thai Inspired Soup with Coriander Pesto, so I believe itâ€™s now time for a main course, before a couple of desserts.
