Quinoa is a hip little super grain (or really seed) that has been gaining more and more attention recently due to the fact that it is a complete protein grain, is high in fiber and is naturally gluten free. When it crossed my radar a few years ago I knew little about how to cook it or use it in my meals. Mostly I used it as a rice substitute when cooking Asian foods at home.

This cookbook is a nice introduction to the many other ways quinoa can be used in your meals. The author has a few chapters of background information about the seed's nutrition and history as well as the basics of preparing it in a few different ways - cooked, toasted, germinated and as flour. Then there is a chapter each dedicated to breakfast, lunch and dinner, dessert and global cuisine. My Kindle edition also includes a bonus chapter of American favorites remade with quinoa and a few sample menus.

I have not yet made any of the recipes out of the cookbook, but the basic preparation instructions mesh with my experience. On reading through the recipes they all appeared clear with the exception of a few instances where the ingredients called for water and the instruction called for stock, but in those cases it was obvious which was correct so with a little common sense I suspect they will all cook up well. I went through and marked a dozen or so recipes to add to our menu planning at some point and I look forward to trying them.

If you are cooking gluten free, do be aware that not all the recipes contained in the cookbook are gluten-free. Many call for flour. But if you are experienced in gluten-free cooking and baking I suspect you could adjust the recipes to meet your needs without too much difficulty.

Overall, I'm quite pleased to have this cookbook on my Kindle shelf. (
