    This was so good and filling! Only issue was that the directions were a little confusing...how to mix everything together?! Regardless this is an excellent recipe, the only thing I have made so far to receive a compliment! - 3/19/07

    I usually bake my sweet taters vs boiling. I think that I get a better flavor. Has anyone tried this recipe with baked sweet potatoes? - 12/23/11

    I'm not a fan in using the garlic with the ginger and nutmeg, the sliced scallions gives it a nice texture. - 12/22/11

    will try, but recipe needs correction: add the carrots and onions to the egg and pumpkin mixture in bowl, not the other way around. - 10/24/11

    Excellent vegetarian recipe, HERCKLE (even though you end up using 3 tblsp of olive oil!!! Have you got any more where this came from? :)
    I am sending this one to my mother and my daughter and my aunt... And we freeze our own pumpkin when it's in season, so we don't have to use canned stuff... - 3/19/07
