Chefs Tips
Next time you see a bad of gem squashes at the grocery store, grab them and try this recipe. It is so much better than those bland recipes where they are only boiled and if you are lucky your granny added some cinnamon sugar. — Which, by the way, is also very nice if you make it with cinnamon and treacle sugar!
