I’ve been waiting to formally announce this forever.
It’s been two years that I’ve kept it to myself, but two years feels like forever.
I wrote a second cookbook called Cooking With Pumpkin: Recipes That Go Beyond the Pie.
About a month after I finished writing Peanut Butter Comfort in late 2012 I was contacted about writing a pumpkin recipes book.
I don’t know whether I was insane or just thought I was superwoman to say yes coming off the heels of one book and literally jumping right into the next. But I said yes and spent the remainder of 2012 and early 2013 writing Cooking with Pumpkin.
Although I was done writing it in the spring of 2013, I just missed the cutoff to have it ready for a fall 2013 launch. No one launches a pumpkin book at any time other than the fall because it would make no seasonal sense, so I waited. Another year.
Now, finally, the fall is upon us and my book is here! It’s available for pre-order on Amazon! It will be in stores like Barnes and Noble and Costco starting October 6, 2014.
The book is filled with over 50 of my favorite pumpkin recipes, and nearly every recipe has a glossy image accompanying it. I did all my own interior photography as well as the cover.
While there are plenty of desserts and sweeter treats, there’s also a savory chapter and a drinks chapter.
Some of my favorite recipes include:
Pumpkin Monkey Bread with Caramel Glaze
Fudgy Pumpkin Brownies with Fudgy Ganache
Pumpkin-Spice Latte
Bourbon Pumpkin Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Chunks
Pumpkin Chipotle Hummus
Chocolaty Pumpkin Hot Chocolate
Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Vegan Coconut Oil Pumpkin Muffins
Soft Buttery Pumpkin Pretzels
Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes with Vanilla Maple Butter
Hello Dolly Seven-Layers-Of-Magic Pumpkin Bars
Nutella-Swirled Pumpkin Muffins
Whew. And there’s about 40 more. It’s surreal looking back at these photos because some I took nearly 2 years ago and now, finally, I can show them to you.
Looking back I don’t know how I made 50 different recipes using pumpkin, but I did and pumpkin lovers, you’re going to be in your glory.
I would greatly, greatly appreciate your support. Please head over to Amazon, spend $13 bucks, and purchase your copy of the book. Thank you so very much!! I know I have the best blog readers out there! Thank you all!

Congratulations! What an awesome cookbook!
I am so ready for pumpkin now! Who makes these silly, arbitrary seasonal rules anyways!? Literally counting down the days until your cookbook comes out!
Congratulations Averie! I hope you’re taking some time off before you start on book #3. :) I don’t know how you do it!
Girl. No book 3. I cannot.even.think.about.that. I need to come up for air, be a mommy, breathe, and live a little :)
OMG you are a total ROCKSTAR!!!!
I am so excited for you. Don’t know whether to cal you the peanut-butter or the pumpkin queen! :D You have amazing recipes. I’ve been using them throughout the last 1.5 year and they get incredible results every time.
I’ll order this book, I just have a quick ? does every recipe have a picture too?
good luck with everything
Thanks for your support on both books! Glad the recipes have done well for you! And yes, there’s a picture for almost every recipe in this book. Just like PB Comfort!
Averie!! Congrats to you!!! Can’t wait to get your new cookbook!!! woot woot!! so happy for you . . and what a great concept and focus. . and it’s coming out at just the right time of the year!!!
Congrats girl! You amaze me! I don’t know how you’ve been able to publish TWO cookbooks, I could never even find time for one!
I truly don’t know how I did it either. Honestly most of 2011-13 is a blur because of two books, proposals, photography, it was…the most chaotic time ever! Whew. Glad that’s done :)
So excited! I can’t wait! :)
Congratulations Averie! You are a true inspiration and probably a whiz at all things PB and pumpkin now!!
