Open Kitchen. Тыквенный пирог с Ксюшей Муравской

Автор: Маргарита Марфенко
       Famous Pumpkin Pie
       With Ksu Muravskaya
 
There is something so simple, yet so delicious, about pumpkin pie. For last few years, me and my friends have been gathering for Thanksgiving dinner. Or sometimes we just gather for coffee with a piece of freshly baked pumpkin pie to open the cold autumn season. As for me, the food-loving girl,I am always looking for ways to simplify things, make things easier for my readers in this blog, save your time.  
And this pumpkin pie is one of the things that is much more easier than it appears at first sight.

The guest at my green kitchen today is Ksusha Muravska- currently teacher of 13 groups at Green Forest!!! Moreover, she finds time not only to teach in all 13 groups, but also cook some fresh brownies and lemon pies for some of her groups (lucky students,ha?). So dear students, don`t hesitate to write us a comment if you are studying in her group. Pretty sure it`ll be encouraging for her.
Okay! Switching to our food mission, let me tell you more about the main ingredient of our pie-Pumpkin.
