Review on Godsfood

I was excited when I first picked up this cookbook - first, because the recipes distinguished between the various types of quinoa, second, because many of the recipes were very flexible. An example of the flexibility: the Easy Quinoa Temaki recipe calls for real or imitation crab, eggs or tofu. Net result: I can adjust for budget, vegetarians or vegans. Each recipe has icons identifying the recipe as gluten-free, child-friendly and/or vegetarian. The ingredient quantities are provided both in American and metric. The ingredient lists are clear and complete; the directions are easily understood and unambiguous; the photos are gorgeous.

So why not 5 stars? by trying to have the broadest appeal, the authors stretch quinoa in the breakfast and baking sections to uses that would appeal primarily to people eating gluten-free diets. Other recipes seem to use quinoa simply so they can be included in the book - like Mint and Green Pea Soup with a bit of quinoa flour.

But the positive aspects far outweigh the negatives ... and remember to modify the spices and ingredients to match your tastes and you'll have several new favorites plus a much better understanding of how to handle quinoa.
