Editorial Reviews

In her new cookbook, The Quintessential Quinoa Cookbook, author
Wendy Polisi demonstrates that one such atypical grain, quinoa, can be put to work in myriad tasty and healthful dishes.

Sauce Magazine

The Quintessential Quinoa Cookbook is highly recommended. In addition to alternative ingredients, preparation tips and nutritional information, recipes are divided into eight main sections: Quinoa
Breakfast Recipes; Appetizers; Soups & Salads; Entrees & Sides;
Quinoa Pasta, Polenta & Pizza; Breads & Muffins; Desserts; and
Quinoa for Kids. The full-color illustrations add just the right touch.
It is user-friendly and the section for kids will inspire even youngsters to have fun in the family kitchen.
I tested four recipes from this excellent collection and have begun to develop an appreciation for what I think is a super food. . . All four recipes were tasty and fairly easy to prepare.

Larry Cox - The Tuscon Citizen

Which protein “substitute” might be the star of Polisi’s first-ever cookbook? It’s quinoa (pronounced keenwah), a hearty grain few people know how to pronounce, let alone cook. Although nearly all of her more than 80 recipes are meatless, to the author’s credit, she doesn’t go overboard vegan; she uses dairy and eggs . . . most [recipes] are the healthier version of such favorite dishes as pancakes, hummus, burgers, and brownies. Every recipe includes a color photograph and complete nutritional information, often accompanied by recommendations for quicker preparation or to make it vegan, gluten free, or with fewer calories. Although she’s a real aficionado of the grain and has used it for years, she makes no claims to being a gluten or vegan expert.
