BCP: What recipe do you think is the most popular from your cookbook?
Again, impossible to choose one.
Let’s do three recipes.

BCP: Is there a dish you make that’s not really a recipe but you make all the time? Something that your family loves but you couldn’t put in a cookbook because it’s either embarrassingly simply and/or uses ready-made or store-bought ingredients?
I buy Jack’s Gourmet Kosher BBQ Pulled Beef Brisket and serve it hot and shredded on the Scallion Quinoa Patties. Drizzle with spicy mayo…it’s delicious. It’s practically a meal on its own and makes for a hearty and beautiful appetizer.
Scallion Quinoa Patties with Lemon Garlic Paprika Aioli
Creating the best recipe for quinoa presented a serious challenge. Quinoa is so healthy and good for you, and you know you should like it, but perhaps you’ve tired enough variations of quinoa to assume that it just doesn’t do it for you. Not anymore, I was very demanding in my quest for the best quinoa recipes and my efforts have paid off. This recipe will change how you feel about quinoa—guaranteed.
