Josh cooked ----> Red Quinoa-
It's the first time I tried it!

Red Quinoa (copied from the packet)- "One of the most sacred foods of the ancient Incas of South America. Nourishing, delicious and vital that they called it chesiya mama, the Mother Grain. It is one of the most ancient of all Quinoas and is now quite rare. Quinoa is superior to other grains because it is a complete protein, containing a higher quality of protein than any other grain. It is technically a seed, not a grain, and is gluten free. When cooked, the grain itself is soft and delicate, but the germ is crunchy, creating an interesting combination of textures. It is light, tasty and easy to digest. It is an excellent meat substitue in vegetarian dishes. It can be used in stir fries, soups, stews, slads and many recipes. It is ready to eat with minimal cooking. It may also be sprouted and then eaten raw."

Besides the Quinoa, we also had,

-Fried Tofu with mixed herbs and soy sauce.
- Stirfry courgette with tofu.
- Kai's mushroom stirfry.
- Chocolate fondue as dessert.

There were too much food! Josh could bring back all the left over back to Churchill as his Sunday lunch and dinner!
