Avid Quinoa fan talks about this new book in a short video
(Food-Beverage-News.Com, July 19, 2013 ) Halifax, West Yorkshire -- It may sound like a small desert island iin the Caribbean, but in fact Quinoa is being hailed as the new super food. Despite being used by generations of families, it has only recently shot to fame prompted by the successful research into its health benefits. A fresh take on it has been created in the form of a Quinoa Cookbook written by weight loss guru and nutritional expert Jamie Lawrence. Taking inspiration from his own lifestyle, he has put together this valuable resource packed full of information and twenty five low carbs recipes.
The book itself is an easy read and can be dipped into for some interesting facts on the history and nutritional value of Quinoa. It may seem like the latest in a long line of health food sources, however, this is no fad and the cookbook will teach you all about Quinoa and how to use it in everyday cooking. You can discover some of the more unusual and surprisingly tasty ways to prepare and eat Quinoa at any time of the day.
The term Super food is not to be used lightly, Quinoa is one of the most complete plant based sources of protein on the planet and contains a whole host of vitamins and antioxidants. Incorporating it into meals can reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels and improve digestion. Moreover, its low glycemic index and high protein content can help to reduce cravings, which in turn will help to promote weight loss.
And it's not just for those looking for improved health, since it is completely gluten free, it is ideal for anyone with food allergies. Quinoa is an extremely versatile, heart healthy, edible seed and can be enjoyed as a breakfast, in soups and stews and for vegetarian and vegan recipes. Start the day with the mango and toasted almond Quinoa porridge and a light lunch of scarlet summer salad. Then for an evening meal there are delicious ideas such as the pesto Quinoa stuffed chicken and finish it off with the Quinoa fruit salad with a ginger and orange Dressing for dessert.
This cook book really shows how simple it is to have easy-to-make meals at home, all the while taking good care of your health. Eating Quinoa in place of the usual choice of carbohydrate has a reputable list of health benefits. What's more these recipes are also packed with flavor and taste so caring for yourself becomes a pleasure not a chore.
