Product Description
One of the world's healthiest foods, quinoa contains a perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids, and is a great source of protein, making it an increasingly popular food choice for those looking to incorporate "superfoods" into their everyday diets. Gluten-free, wheat-free, and nutrient-packed, quinoa is ideal for those who are health-conscious, vegetarian, and/or physically active, as well as for those with gluten intolerance, wheat allergies, and other digestive disorders. But that's not all: You can eat quinoa guiltlessly knowing it's free of cholesterol and trans fats. In Quinoa 365 sisters Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming show you how to use this miraculous superfood in all your favourite dishes.

just okay,

This review is from: Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood (Paperback)
I bought this book based on the rave reviews but I must say I was a bit disappointed with it. I use quinoa all the time and have been using it for many years. I was hoping to find a book that would have interesting new recipes using quinoa- as the star ingredient. Most of the recipes in this book only use 1/4 cup of quinoa, (some even just a few tablespoons) and many use quinoa flour. Although I appreciate ideas for using quinoa flour, I would prefer more recipes using quinoa in its natural state. When I cook with quinoa it is often because I want a gluten free/vegetarian dish that is high in protein. A lot of these recipes don't call for enough quinoa to make a dish that is a substantial substitute for protein so when I look through the book for dinner ideas, there are not as many options as I would expect from a 170+recipe book on quinoa.
Maybe better suited for someone just wanted to incorporate some quinoa into their cooking.

Recipies you can use Everyday of the week--breakfast, lunch and dinner!,
By Cathy S. "Love to cook" (Sherwood Park, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood (Paperback)
This is THE cookbook I use most now. I have tried so many recipies in this book and they are all delicious and mostly very quick and easy to prepare. I've even tried a few of the baking recipies -- the carrot cake is so awesome -- I served it to guests at a birthday party and everyone loved it!
I liked the book so much, I purchased another one for a friend who has to eat gluten-free. There are lots of gluten-free recipies in this book. She gave it the thumbs up as well. The only negative comment I have is that the recipies don't state nutritional information at the end. I like to see how many calories, protien, fibre, etc. a recipe has per serving so I know exactly what I'm eating.

Fantastic Cookbook!,

This review is from: Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood (Paperback)
What a fantastic cookbook! I never once thought about using Quinoa in homemade baby food. What a great idea. I have tried a few recipes from the cookbook = DELISH! I love how the authors educate people on the nutritional value of Quinoa. Their Quinoa 365 website is great too.
I am amazed at how many people have not heard of Quinoa. If you know anyone who is a vegetarian, you should definitely buy this book for them!
