Directions:
1.Place quinoa in a bowl of water. Begin the cleaning by rubbing the grain together between your hands. Drain and
repeat several times. You will know the quinoa is clean when the water is no longer milky after rubbing. This step is
essential for removing the bitter layer that surrounds the grain.
2.Bring quinoa and 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until grains are
translucent, 13 to 15 minutes. Drain well in a sieve.
3.Preheat oven to 350°F.
4.To measure milk, place powdered milk in measuring cup and add milk to one cup. Stir together to dissolve milk
powder. If you do not have powdered milk, its best to use whole milk.
5.Whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, vanilla, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl until just combined. Mix in
quinoa, nuts, and currants. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square baking pan prepared with a coat of cooking spray.
6.Stir together cinnamon and remaining tablespoon sugar and sprinkle over top of pudding. Bake until a knife
inserted in center comes out clean, around 40 minutes.
7.Serve warm or at room temperature

How to make hot camembert pastry parcels1. Preheat
the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and pop a baking
sheet in to heat. Unroll 1 thawed sheet from a 425g
pack frozen Jus-Rol puff pastry. Cut in half to give 2
wide rectangles.
2. Cut 150g round petit Camembert in half to make 2
semi-circles, then cut each half horizontally to give 4
semi-circles. Place 1 piece of cheese in the centre of
each pastry rectangle, then top with a good
tablespoonful of cooked mixed peppers (best from a
jar). Put the remaining cheese on top, season with
black pepper and sprinkle with some fresh thyme.
3. Beat an egg yolk with a little water. Brush the pastry
edges with egg, then bring up the pastry to form a
parcel. Press the edges to seal with a fork, then brush
each parcel with more egg. Transfer to the hot baking
sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes. Bake until golden
and cooked through. Serve with a green salad.
