  2. Hey sweetheart,

    I’ve never really gone through your whole blog/recipes and I gotta say…..very nice indeed. As for the cockaigne part in Joy of Cooking. I think I remember reading that that word was attached to those recipes they really liked. But what it really means I don’t know.

    Once again, great work.

    • Hi Renee, Yes, it’s the root veggie hash with poached egg and salsa verde. It’s one of my favorites!

        Thanks Katherine, another question if I may. I have not cooked Quinoa before. I see several different suggestions online and it was mentioned that it can become sticky.
        I bought the brown Quinoa and want to use for a salad. How do you recommend cooking it. Thank you

  4. I have several quinoa recipes on the blog here that you can check out. My basic technique is as follows: Rinse your quinoa in a fine-meshed sieve (it has a naturally occurring slightly bitter coating on it) and then put in a pan. The ratio of water (or stock or broth) to quinoa is 1.5 to 1 so 1.5 cups water to 1 cups quinoa. Bring to water and quinoa to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cook covered until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy and tender. This should take about 15- 20 minutes. Let me know how it goes.
