What is the best kind of pumpkin for cooking?

Choosing a pumpkin for recipes

When selecting a pumpkin for a recipe, choose a small, deep orange-colored pumpkin, that`s not too soft or discolored. The smaller pumpkins have a sweeter flavor, and are much better for cooking than the big "jack-o-lantern" pumpkins.
