"A taste of PERú" 
Hello thanks for this yummy recipe. Where do you get black and red quinoa from. I eat it everyday but havent been able to find these types in Australia.
Thanks
Hi Cherie:

Let us know how did you go with your mission!
Buen provecho!

I have a soft spot for pumpkin and this recipe sounds delightful. Will you be teaching this at the quinoa cooking class?
The cooking class will start with an Introduction to Pisco with the famous Pisco Sour cocktail. Whilst you are enjoying the Pisco, you will learn more about Peruvian cuisine and Pisco history and tradition in Peruvian gastronomy.
The cocktail will be followed by the entrees:
· Inca rolls (Selection of three):
Inca roll, Chef Saravia’s version of the traditional Japanese maki roll, that will replace the
rice with a blend of Quinoas and Amaranth, the rolls will be served with wakame, pickled ginger and
avocado and wasaby puree
As a main we will have:
· Quinua pepian with roasted corn fed chicken and aromatic herbs.
I will be presenting a traditional Andean stew. “Pepian” that comes from the Quechua (Peruvian Andean dialect) “pipuyan”, that means dish with a creamy or thick consistency. There are different versions of the dish depending on which region it’s been cook, for example;
rice in the cost, quinua and corn in the Andeans and casaba in the Amazon jungle.
The dessert will consist in a:
· Pastel de Quinoa, creamy Quinoa pudding served with rum poached raisins!
I hope that you find this new menu suitable to your taste!
Hope to see you there!
Buen provecho!
