Thanks Davy, the first site has some good recipes. 

I just bought some pumpkin this afternoon for soup, but there is a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds, which I'll try. The pumpkin cookies look good as well.....

Pumpkin soup is a favourite of mine and I include pumpkin seeds in my breadmaking.  I understand the seeds are very good for you.  Not sure what all these orange lumps are that are growing all over me though!   

[Simon]

The mind boggles!

I put pepitas, which seem to be the green hulled pumpkin kernel, in my muesli. How do you use the seeds in bread making, Clive. Do you roast them first?   

[Clive]

I use sunflower seeds, caraway seeds, flaxseed and millet as well.  You just throw them into the mix and let the breadmaker do its thing.  Go easy on the caraway seeds though since they have a very strong taste and many people don't like them.  But seeds are full of omegas (you knew that already though!) so they are really good for you.

Try golden linseeds in a straight farmhouse white bread - you won't be disappointed.  I believe they're reputed to be anti-carcinogenic too, but don't ask me for the science.

[Clive]

Sorry, when I said flaxseed I meant linseed.     Wait!  It's the same thing!   

[Simon]

The millet worries me.  Do you have to sit on a perch to eat it, and does it come with a little free mirror?

[Clive]

Tweet tweet tweet.

I tawt I taw a puddy tat!

Cweep cweep.

Millet is one of the finest foods available.  It will grow where other grains won't, it has a protein level akin to that of wheat, and it's full of vitamin B, including the controversial vitamin B17.

You can buy millet at health food shops and it's dead easy to cook.  Substitute it for couscous or rice.  I love it!
