Review

"Healthy, delicious recipes. Quinoa is a "super food," a grain that is actually the tiny seed from the same family as spinach and Swiss chard. Cross invokes its use in all kinds of recipes, including cookies, and as a meatless main course sprinkled with a dab of butter, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper." - Casper Star-Tribune

"The Quinoa Quookbook is my go-to resource for delicious,original, simple-to-prepare recipes that highlight the delightfully nutty flavor of quinoa." - Elizabeth Yarnell, author of Glorious One-Pot Meals

"The book is filled with 100 recipes ranging from breakfast food to salads and entrees, but I'm always most intrigued about adding healthy ingredients to desserts and treats to help me justify enjoying them. Quinoa is a super food, so find out what to do with it in this great book." - Michele Morris, author of A Taste of Washington and Tasting Colorado
