It was just recently that I decided to give quinoa a try. It's pronounced KEEN-wah, not quin-OH-a like it looks, so now you will be saved the embarrassment that I felt when the pimply faced counter jockey at Whole Foods gave me an eye roll and a correction. After that eye roll I didn't bother to ask how to prepare the stuff, preferring to keep my additional ignorance to myself. Fortunately I found this book pop up a few days ago, and what a great find! More than just another collection of recipes, this book gives you information on just what quinoa is, various facts you may not know (like how to pronounce it, duh), and the wonderful health benefits associated with eating quinoa. There's a lot of variety in the recipes, all of which are easy to follow even for the kitchen klutzes among us. There's also recipes for those with special dietary needs, like energy bars and vegan pancakes. Very glad I came across this!
