From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cooking is the process of preparing food by applying heat. Cooks select and combine ingredients using a wide range of tools and methods. In the process, the flavor, texture, appearance, and chemical properties of the ingredients can change. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions. Cooks themselves also vary widely in skill and training. Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to human beings, and some scientists believe the advent of cooking played an important role in human evolution. Most anthropologists believe that cooking fires first developed around 250,000 years ago. The development of agriculture and trade across civilizations offered cooks many new ingredients. New inventions and technologies, such as pottery for holding and boiling water, expanded cooking techniques. Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to food preparation. Ingredients in cookingMost ingredients in cooking are derived from living things. Vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts come from plants, while meat, eggs, and dairy products come from animals. Mushrooms are a type of fungi. Cooks also utilize water and minerals such as salt. Cooks can also utilize wine, an alcohol fermented from grapes and from other fruits. Wine can be an ingredient in cooking. Naturally-occurring ingredients contain various amounts of molecules called proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They also contain water and minerals. Cooking involves a manipulation of the chemical properties of these molecules. From Wikipedia under the

As Michele pointed out, jack-o-lantern pumpkins make poor pumpkin pies. Her instructions for cooking the pumpkin are good. Pie pumpkins are seldom seen at regular super markets. Farmers' markets, green grocers and fruit/veggie stands are your best bet for getting a pie pumpkin. If you cannot find one and do want to make-your-own pie filling, suitable substitutes are Butternut and Hubbard squashes, which are often available at supermarkets. Even Acorn and Delicato squash do fairly well. And all do better than jack-o-lantern pumpkins.
