Is there a definitive website on winter squash, i.e. cooking with, rather
than just a list of recipes?

There's always the Cook's Thesaurus

http://www.foodsubs.com/Squash.html

It offers methods of cooking and substitutions. Not sure what else you mean
by "cooking with".

patch by the state trooper... well, pumpkins are kinda big, so Kswck diddles

Thanks Jill, but I am really looking to learn about winter squash, what it
looks like, how to cook it.
But I do have that site already.

Oops, pardon me. Perhaps I should read-up on that site a bit more. Sorry.

But "cooking with" and "a list of recipes" is synonymous... you need to be more
definitive about what it is you DO want, otherwise it IS a *great mystery*.

Many herbs and spices list the type of food that it would compliment. Does
spaghetti squash go with spaghetti? That's the kind of thing I wish to know.

Regarding herbs and spices I still don't know what you want, winter squash is
like the tofu of veggies, goes with most any seasoning.... and I wouldn't
classify spaghetti squash as a winter squash, I call it a summer squash... and
I see no reason not to serve it with pasta but I don't think spaghetti, only
because they look too similar.

They don't all look the same, but they all have fairly tough skins and
a cavity with seeds in it. The flesh tends toward sweetness, more in
some varieties than others.

I like to set one in an equilibrium position, cut a plug out of the
upper surface, and scoop out the seeds.

Then I put something inside, put the plug back in, and bake.

What to put inside? Some possibilities:

salt and pepper the inside surface. Perhaps Aleppo pepper. fill with
peeled garlic cloves. pour in some olive oil, about half way up. Maybe
an herb. Maybe a hot pepper.

Or some sausage meat, perhaps with some cooked wild rice or farro..

Or some plum tomatoes, blanched, peeled, and seeded, along with
seasonings you and your audience like.

Some people like to emphasize the natural sweetness of the squash by
putting some maple syrup in. I found this overpowering myself. If I
try it again I will dribble a very small amount in.

You can tell when it is baked by sticking something into the side.

Just go get one and try it. It isn't rocket science.

Sorry to piggyback on your post, but Google isn't letting me
view the thread yet and I guess my newsfeed hasn't caught up
either.

Anyway, to whomever asked... I wouldn't serve spaghetti
squash with spaghetti - I'd serve it as a replacement for
spaghetti.
