I need help identifying and possible cooking suggestion

Hi
I just need help identifying three squashes a neighbor gave me … she did not know what they are, someone gave them to her.

Two look like a sunflower. Very gold/orange, with a raised center like the seed pad on a sunflower, and then 10 short rounded “petals” around it.

The other is a small flatish white gourd, about 4.5 in. across, and looks a bit like a flying saucer. Thicker in the middle, and scalloped slightly around the edges.

I have no idea what they are, cannot locate them online, so do not even know if these are for decor, or can be baked.

Thanks so much,
Phyllis

Those look like patty pan squash. Numerous recipes are on the web. Enjoy!

Thank you 🙂

I can see how that would describe the small white one, from the sites I am bringing up, but cannot find a pic identifying the big yellow….or are they a version of the same variety?

Thanks for the help.
