I have tried to make quinoa a couple of times for my family but I could never really get it right. There always seemed to be this after taste to it that I could never really put my finger on. After readingQuinoa Salad and Side Dishes: Quick and Easy Quinoa Salad and Side Dish RecipesI see what I was doing wrong.In the tips section, Sarah points out that quinoa has a residue of saponin that can cause a bitter taste. I am pretty sure that is what I was tasting. The book gives excellent tips in order to get rid of this taste which is extremely useful for me. The book also contains other tips which I am sure will help in preparing the perfect quinoa.The book also explains the different types of quinoa which definitely helps a beginner like me.Of course, the meat of the book really is the recipes which look delicious! There were 2 that caught my eye that I really have to try:- Hearty and spicy quinoa- Quinoa picnic saladIf you are a beginner to preparing quinoa like I am, I would suggest you pick up a copy of this book. The tips given will save you from making bad quinoa like I have done in the past, lol.
