cookery book group thread and we will teach you to love your
cookery books again!  I don't honestly love quinoa but it is the
nicest of the grains I think. With all of them though I think it
is better to ensure they are an addition to rather than the main
component of a meal. I wouldn't make a quinoa salad but I would
make a normal salad with a good scattering of quinoa, if you see
what I mean? Similarly if I have some left over I used to chuck
it into smoothies. The only exception to this personal rule was
a breakfast / pudding I used to make for my baby dd - quinoa,
fruit purée and plain yoghurt.... That was delicious!

slightly nutty texture but little flavour, so it carries other
flavours well. Much nicer than couscous.  My favourite recipes:
Quinoa and kale stir fry with chilli and nuts  Quinoa feta and
spinach salad
