Welcome Fall!!! In this beautiful time of the year, pumpkin is the main ingredient for many typical Italian dishes : pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin gnocchi, pumpkin risotto. Having myself a sweet tooth, I love to prepare simple and healthy PUMPKIN FRITTERS. This humble vegetable is a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, it is one of the most popular field crops cultivated around the world and its name comes from the greek word pepon (πέπων) : large melon.
