I didn't actually take notes whilst I was converting this recipe but think I have most of the basics covered.  It was so delicious that I think I will be making it again very soon so will take more notice of the steps next time and make adjustments as needed.

As I am new to converting recipes I would also appreciate any feedback...

PS I didn't use butternut pumpkin.  I used some pumpkin (not sure what type) I picked up at the markets this morning instead.
