There are basically three ways in which you can cook your Quinoa; boiling in water, soaking in hot water to allow for absorption or steaming. Always bear in mind that Quinoa, like rice, will increase in size when cooked to about three or four times its original size. Once the grains are tender and have a springy texture, your Quinoa is ready to eat. Eating it uncooked is not recommended as the seeds tend to be bitter but cooked it will compliment beans, couscous, stews and rice to name only a few. With the health benefits of eating Quinoa, how can you not eat this super food?
There is nothing like a good cooking tip when working in your kitchen. Here is just a small list I have put together for you. I think you will enjoy them... Happy Cooking!
· Use a shaker container to mix flour and cold water before adding as a thickener.
· Smell of onion or garlic on hands just rinse hands in cold water, rub with salt or baking powder, rinse again and then wash with soap and water.
· Sprinkle sliced fruits with lemon juice to keep them from browning
· Keep brown sugar soft by placing a slice of bread in the container and cover tightly.
· Dry, granulated honey, just place honey container in a pan of heated water.
· If your rice came out sticky just rinse rice thoroughly with warm water to wash out the excess starch and separate grains.
· For crispier fries, fry twice. First fry until golden in 340 degree oil, then drain and let cool at room temperature. Just before serving, fry in 375-degree oil until golden brown.

· KNOWING COOKING DEFINITIONS
Simmering vs. boiling.
Simmering is cooking over low heat where the bubbles are slowly breaking at the surface.
Boiling is cooking over med to high heat where the bubbles are breaking fast and often at the surface.
Ok so the recipe calls for simmering the meat for 2 to 3 hours, and you boiled the meat for 30 to 45 minutes...the meat comes out tough and hard to chew.
Because it was cooked too fast it lost the juices and became "shoe leather".
If you are not prepared to put in the time needed to prepare a dish then save it for when you do.
Once your grill is hot enough, place the food on top of it and leave it alone long enough for a nice crispy seal to form. This is the most important part of the cooking process and you don't want to do anything to disturb it. When you are able to sear the outside it helps to create a natural barrier that will keep all of the juices inside. Don't make the common mistake of cutting into your meat to see if it has cooked thoroughly. You should use a timer to accurately predict when your food is done without disturbing the meat itself. And when everything comes off the grill you should make sure to let it sit so that all of the juices have a chance to distribute evenly. If you have flavoured your food beforehand, you should have a delicious product that will have all of your guests drooling with anticipation.
