There are times when one finds inspiration for cooking in a memory, in a book or in a restaurant; watching a movie or talking to friends. But other times, it's not that you get inspiration, but that you just find the recipe. And that's what happened with this delicious cream of pumpkin with red curry and coconut.

Pumpkin cream is a favorite in my house. In winter we have dinner every day different vegetable creams, likewise missing in summer never salmorejo.

But this recipe isn't always. In one of those days where my friend Cris invites us to eat at his house, served us this cream which I thought was really delicious. It is the traditional pumpkin but with some variations that make it different and original.

Can be served hot or cold, although I admit that my I like much hotter. If you cannot find the Red curry paste you can do it yourself, although this paste is in all the shops of Chinese power.

I hope you enjoy it!
