Autumn is here! It's high time to cook pumpkins, butternuts and other cucurbits. Stéphane Subrin, the chef of the restaurant Les Gens Heureux, opened the doors of his kitchen to us. He tells us the details of a perfect recipe, a pumpkin cream, for this period when the leaves detach from the branches and twirl to the ground.
