BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUFFLE OR KUGEL
This is a delicious healthy side dish. Pretty enough for company, but kids enjoy the sweet taste! Fresh squash is easy to cook in the microwave, but frozen tastes just as good. For the milk, I used nonfat, my neighbor uses Mocha Mix to make it non-dairy. From my neighbor, Tiffanie, who is the best kosher cook ever!!

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé WITH CANDIED SQUASH
In this intensely rich recipe, you'll jazz up a fudgy chocolate soufflé cake with crème fraîche and candied, cinnamon-scented butternut squash, turning a decadent dessert into something stunningly autumnal.

Cover your baked cake with the crème fraîche and your cooled butternut squash that has been simmered in a cinnamon honey syrup, and serve it in thin slivers. It's the perfect chocolatey finish to a feast.

Steps:
- In a very large skillet, combine the syrup, honey, cinnamon and a pinch of clove. Scrape the vanilla seeds into the skillet and drop in the pod. Bring mixture to a simmer. Add the squash in a single layer. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until juices thicken to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine the chocolate, butter and salt and cook until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla and remove from heat.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until creamy, about 1 minute. In a clean, dry bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the egg whites until they just hold their shape. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on high speed until they hold soft peaks
- Fold the yolks into the melted chocolate. Fold in half the whites to lighten the mixture; once combined, fold in the remaining whites. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until barely set in the center, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
- Slice a knife or offset spatula around the edges of the pan to release it. Transfer cake to a platter. Slather top of cake with crème fraîche. Spoon squash and syrup over cake. Slice into thin slivers (it is very rich) and serve.

Steps:
- Pour enough water into a large pot to come about 1 inch up the side. Set a vegetable steamer in the pot, and put the squash chunks into the steamer. Cover the pot, bring the water to a boil over moderately high heat, and steam the squash for 25 to 30 minutes or until it is tender and shows no resistance when pierced with the tip of a small knife.
- Puree the squash through a food mill or fine sieve set over a bowl lined with dampened cheesecloth. Wrap the cloth around the squash and, holding the ends in both hands, squeeze vigorously to remove as much of the moisture from the squash as possible. There should be about 2 cups of puree. Set it aside in a bowl.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F With a pastry brush, spread a light coating of melted or softened butter evenly over the bottom and sides of a 2-quart soufflé dish.
- In a heavy 2 to 3 quart saucepan, melt the 3 Tablespoons of butter in the oil over moderate heat. Stir in the flour and mix to a paste. Stirring constantly with a wire whisk, pour in the milk and cream, and cook over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil, thickens heavily and is smooth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for two or three minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the squash. Then beat in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the sugar, nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, and taste for seasoning.
- With a whisk or a rotary or electric beater-and in an unlined copper bowl, if possible-beat the 5 egg whites until they are firm enough to stand in peaks on the beater when it is lifted from the bowl. Stir two or three large spoonfuls of the whites into the squash mixture to lighten it, then gently but thoroughly fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour the soufflé mixture into the buttered dish, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes or until the soufflé puffs up well above the rim and the top is lightly browned. Serve at once. Serves 4 to 6.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUFFLE
A girlfriend of mine made this for a dinner party years ago and I liked it so much I made it for my own family. It has been requested at every holiday dinner since. I don't like carrots, but the squash really steals the show, so no worries on a "carroty" taste (it alwasys falls just a little so I recommend saving a little topping to fill the little dip :-)

- Season the squash puree well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Use a combination of cheeses. This will give your soufflé a more complex flavor and texture. You can use Parmesan cheese, Gruyère cheese, fontina cheese, or any other type of hard or semi-hard cheese.
