Cooking with Quinoa: The Supergrain (book)
Cooking with Quinoa: The Supergrain - Rena Patten
New Holland, 2011. Hardback, 192 pages, excellent condition
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a grain, but not just any grain. It is considered to be almost a complete food. It is very high in protein, full of vitamins, gluten- and wheat-free, cholesterol-free and usually organic. And it is simply delicious.
In the kitchen, quinoa has a huge range of uses and lends itself beautifully to so many dishes. When cooked, it has a very delicate texture and is lovely in soups and sweets, and makes wonderful salads, pasta, breads and delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. It is simple to prepare, easy to digest and most enjoyable to eat
Approach road to new Piarere roundabout set to open
From Tuesday next week road users can look forward to a more complete roundabout experience in Piarere, with the final permanent approach road towards Hamilton set to open.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has announced traffic is planned to be switched onto the new approach on February 25 - weather permitting.
Poll: Have you seen vandalism around your area?
Vandals’ repeated attacks on Nawton’s destination playground could force the council to close some of the attractions.
Hamilton’s troubled destination playground is closed once again after more vandalism, with repairs expected to be completed sometime next month.
