    I had never made Quinoa before and wanted to try it. This sounded better than just using water. I really enjoyed it. I'll be using this when I make quinoa again! - 3/2/10

    This was great. I added a small diced onion before the garlic because I couldn't help myself. And about 3 tbsp diced fresh chives after the 15 minutes because they were there. Will totally make again. Served with shrimp scampi. - 2/16/18

    This was my first time trying quinoa, I didn't enjoy it. My package says 2 parts water, 1 part quinoa, so I wonder if I had used 1 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of quinoa it would have been fluffier. - 1/18/12

    I am afraid my boyfriend and I both agreed that the roasted garlic made it rather bitter. I wouldn't recommend this for first time Quinoa makers/eaters. - 9/19/11
