Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Although I am a professional chef, I would not think this recipe would be come in with a level 4 of difficulty. The orzo and scallops are a perfect matching for balance and taste. I recommend basil in place of the dill as the preferred herb of choice. Whatever you prefer, this dish is savory and worth placing in your repatoire of dishes. Enjoy.
I think you misread the difficulty level, it has a difficulty of 3 which means it is at a skill level of the average home cook.
