Tips/Hints:
The recipe actually called for 1000g pumpkin and two onions but the demonstrator said half and half is better.

This sounds different. I just googled the pumpkin and I think I could use any sort. I usually use Jap and that is nice.

Yes, you can use any kind of pumpkin. The hokkaido is just handy because you don't need to peel it and it has such a beautiful, "violently" orange colour.
