The Complete Idiot’s GuideR Quinoa Cookbook
Quinoa, a grain-like seed similar to rice, is a healthy staple food for
vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free dieters, and anyone looking for a healthy
superfood that is easy to make. However, quinoa is surprisingly flavorless,
and if improperly cooked or seasoned, will not tempt taste buds or inspire
healthy eating. The Complete Idiot’s GuideR Quinoa Cookbook teaches readers
how to properly cook and add a variety of delicious flavors and techniques
to quinoa. Packed with over 250 recipes, the cookbook teaches readers how to
make everything from quinoa pancakes to quinoa carbonara. The cookbook
includes quinoa recipes for:
. Quick egg and griddle breakfasts
. Salads – vegetarian and meat-topped
. Sandwiches
. Soups, stews, and chilis
. Easy snacks and appetizers
. Quinoa dinner and desserts
The Complete Idiot’s GuideR Quinoa Cookbook also includes cooking and baking
tips for making the perfect quinoa every time, as well as the history and
health benefits of this ancient seed.
