Seasonal recipes with pumpkins from the CARE garden

Preparation

Blend the flesh into smooth, thick soups, finished with a swirl of cream - a small pumpkin can provide a satisfying meal for one. Bake small pumpkins and stuff with rice and spices such as cinnamon, hot chillies and cumin. Or roast thick slices and serve with a chunky tomato sauce.

Sweet dishes need not be limited to pumpkin pie. Stir puréed pumpkin into a cheesecake filling for a less sickly take on this decadent dessert. Or try making pumpkin halwa - the nutty flavour of the pumpkin flesh blends well with the other nuts and seeds. Roasted pumpkin seeds are great on their own as snacks and can be incorporated into flapjacks and biscuits, or used to garnish tarts and cakes.

From pumpkin soup to pumpkin pie, enjoy our favourite recipes for this king of the vegetable patch. Stir meltingly sweet cubes of fried pumpkin into risottos or curries, offsetting the sweetness with fragrant herbs such as sage or thyme, or warming spices such as ginger.

This is such an important consideration right from the early stages of design concept, will your ideas cost you more to produce than your budget allows? Its always important to be flexible and consider compromises where we can - making changes, using recycled resources and considerations such as will our end product 'earn' us an income that we can offset against its build costs? Use a planning sheet like the one attached to capture costs as you go along.

The word 'per-cent' means parts 'of 100' , so 50% is 50 parts of 100 (half).

Sometimes its easier to think of this visually using a number square. and sometimes it can be useful to use technology to help us!

Try this percentage calulator out and see how helpful it is when you are setting the % profitability for your market stall goods.

About

This website is designed to help you quickly and easily calculate percentages for a variety of purposes. Whether you're calculating discounts, calculating tips, or trying to figure out how much something has increased or decreased in value, our percentage calculator can help.

FAQ

What is a percentage?

Percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is commonly used to represent a portion of a whole or to compare two numbers. Percentages are often denoted with the symbol "%". For example, if there are 100 cars in a garage and 25 of them are white, we could say that 25% of the cars in the garage are white.

How do you calculate a percentage?

To calculate a percentage, you typically divide the part (the smaller value) by the whole (the larger value), and then multiply the result by 100. This gives you the percentage value as a number between 0 and 100. For example, if you have 50 apples and you want to know what percentage of them are red, and 20 of them are red, you would divide 20 by 50 to get 0.4, then multiply by 100 to get 40%.

Why percentages matter?

Percentages are used in a wide variety of contexts, from calculating discounts and taxes to measuring changes in stock prices and economic indicators. Understanding how percentages work can help you make more informed decisions in a variety of areas, from personal finance to business management.
