This review is from: Quinoa, the Supergrain: Ancient Food for Today (Paperback)

This book is perfect for anyone serious about their food. The first half of the book relates the history of the quinoa plant, its arrival in the US, and all the benefits of eating quinoa. Going beyond a normal cookbook, this book explains how to actually grow and harvest your own stock. The book is a bit dated, but the recipes are not. Chock full of salads, soups, dishes with meat, and desserts, the author adds variations for each recipe to allow the cook to experiment. I only wish that there were more pictures of the recipes. I read the book cover to cover. I really recommend finding this book to add to you whole grain collection.
