The last three years have seen quinoa skyrocket from being an obscure niche food to being the most popular superfood around. With its high levels of vitamin E, calcium and iron, quinoa’s got the nutritional profile to deserve the title. Add in the fact that it’s a complete protein (something normally found only in animal sources) and you’ve got the perfect food for vegetarians!
The Vegetarian’s Complete Quinoa Cookbook is the essential cookbook for making quinoa part of a complete vegetarian diet. It features 120 complete protein vegetarian recipes (all less than 500 calories) , contributed by professional home economists, for quinoa-based meals that go from breakfast all the way to dessert! Every recipe is complemented by a full nutritional profile. The book includes icons showing recipes that are completely gluten free, or use a microwave, slow cooker or bread machine!
Whether you are a vegetarian or not, you will find recipes in this book to cultivate your taste for this flavourful plant.
Try quinoa out in:
Pumpkin Cornmeal Pancakes
African Peanut Soup with Red Quinoa
Mexi Meatless Shepherd’s Pie
Goat Cheese, Red Pepper and Spinach Quiche
Dark Chocolate Pudding Cake
