Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Thoughts About this Cookbook Comment: I purchased this book to expand my reportoire of healthy recipes because quinoa is such a great grain for lowfat diets.As a vegan I appreciate all this grain has to offer: protein, thiamin, iron, etc. Unfortunately, Ms. Kijac includes extra butter, oils, and meats to cook quinoa in most of her recipes. If you are vegan, this book is definitely not for you because it includes dairy in over half the recipes - unless,of course, you are comfortable with making non-dairy substitutions.Out of the 27 recipes I found 3 I could use directly from the book. Customer Rating: Summary: The Art of Cooking with Quinoa: A Complete Vegetable Protein Comment: The recipes in this book aren't great and many of them call for use with animal proteins. I have found many delicious recipes for quinoa in vegan cookbooks. Customer Rating: Summary: The Art of Cooking Quinoa: A Complete Vegtable Protein Comment: This is a very good book. It is totally dedicated to cooking Quinoa and the recipes are great. If you are interested in learning to cook with Quioa this is the book. Customer Rating: Summary: not for the novice Comment: This book is not for a novice like myself who won't attempt an unfamiliar dish without Julia Child at my elbow. First,I need to know every detail about the prep, including what could go wrong and how to fix it. Fortunately my wife is a very experienced cook who is not shy about stopping me before I make a grave error. For my first attempt I chose Ms. Kijac's Quinoa Souffle (mainly because I've made souffles before with a modicum of success.) My first mistake was starting late. I had just opened the Amazon box and selected a bag of quinoa when I decided on the souffle.(1 hour until dinner.)I had no trouble boiling the berries and fluffing them but then I moved into unfamiar territory."Add milk, cook uncovered until all milk has been absorbed. Remove from heat and reserve." About how long should it take for 2 cups of cooked quinoa to absorb 2 cups of milk? High, medium or low heat? What should it look like when finished? Julia would have told me right up front. After 20 minutes of stirring I panicked and called in my wife for a consult. By this time the quinoa/milk was very thick porridge. My wife doesn't know quinoa but she does know rice in all its variations and she thought it would a long time to absorb all the milk and I should just drain off the extra milk because it was close to dinnertime. The she looked in the bowl where I'd mixed the egg yolks, cheese and spices. "You can't mix that into the hot quinoa. You'll get scrambled eggs. Put the pan in cold water with a tray of ice cubes and hope we can reduced the porridge to room temperature." Well, I did and then folded in the beaten egg whites without a hitch. 30 minutes later I carried a perfect souffle to the table. When Ms. Kijac says it serves 4 she means 4 very hungry adults. I reheated it the next day for lunch and it was still very good but we never finished the whole thing. The dog thought it was super. Customer Rating: Summary: Gluten free options Comment: I've made delicious quinoa muffins that were even a hit with the non-celiacs in the family. This book has helped me understand the grain. I am looking forward to trying more recipes from the book. More Reviews
