Book (stand-alone)International Cookbook for Quinoa: Tradition and innovation
Quinoa a future sown thousands of years ago
2014Also available in:
Quinoa, the so-called golden grain, was safeguarded for thousands of years by the inhabitants of the Andean regions of Latin America and has only recently been discovered by the world. In its honour, the United Nations declared 2013 as the International Year of Quinoa. In doing so, the UN paid tribute to the Andean indigenous peoples who have maintained, controlled, protected and preserved quinoa as a food for present and future generations thanks to their knowledge and traditional w ay of life in harmony with nature. But not only this; the United Nations General Assembly also noted the nutritional characteristics of quinoa and its adaptability to different agroecological conditions, properties that, coupled with its low cost of production, make it a strong partner in the fight against hunger and food insecurity The origin of this cookbook stems from that recognition by the United Nations. Its purpose is to serve as a means of publicizing quinoa and its benefit s beyond its area of origin, to promote its production and consumption throughout the world and thus to reach those countries that suffer most from food insecurity. With this in mind, FAO resorted to tradition and innovation. Tradition takes the form of everyday recipes of peoples and communities living in the quinoa producing regions of Latin America. The dishes have varied origins, some going back many centuries, others only existing for a few generations. As for innovation, FAO us ed the Chefs Against Hunger campaign to contact dozens of chefs around the world and to invite them to present recipes that were inexpensive, healthy, nutritious, and simple to prepare and whose preparation was based on ingredients from their local region. Not an easy challenge. The outcome was 37 recipes with ingredients from all over the world, exotic flavours and varied textures and aromas. Evidence of the versatility of this grain, which can adapt to all cuisines. This publicatio n combines both types of recipe, traditional and innovative, to offer more than 60 different dishes. We hope that you will enjoy this cookbook, that you will venture into the wide selection of quinoa flavours and, if you are able, that you will share it with those who can most benefit from it, thereby helping to disseminate this future sown thousands of years ago. -
Book (stand-alone)Kenyan Food Recipes
A recipe Book of common mixed dishes with nutrient values; As prepared by communities
2018Also available in:
No results found.Complete absence or existence of limited quantified recipes has negatively impacted on optimal gains from dietary activities being promoted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MoALF) towards alleviating food and nutrition insecurity, and ultimately malnutrition. The lack of reliable quantified recipes in the country may have therefore led to incorrect nutrient intake estimations resulting in erroneous nutrient adequacy estimations in populations and eventually, inaccurate programming decisions. It is on this premise that Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supported the government in documenting commonly consumed recipes, which were quantified with ingredients, preparation methods and yield factors. This book is a detailed account of commonly consumed dishes featuring a diversity of mixed ingredient recipes from across Kenyan communities. These recipes were selected based on frequency of use and so the most commonly used recipes are featured. The book was developed side by side with the revised Kenya Food Composition Tables (KFCT) and so nutrient calculations for mixed recipes featured were drawn from the revised Kenya Food Composition Tables (KFCT), 2018. This first version of recipes book covers a total of 142 mixed recipes. The main components of the book include for each recipe a list of ingredients with household measures, the preparation and cooking method, cooking time, nutrient profile per 100g of recipe, servings and a photograph of the final dish. In addition, individual recipes have been grouped into broader categories for ease of reference. Recipes that are common among urban dwellers have also been captured. Recipes that apply to infants particularly have been indicated in the recipe introductions. Of note about infant recipes is that the information received during focus group discussions revealed that most of the recipes consumed by the entire family are also eaten by infants above 6 months and children. A full nutrient profile, nutrient calculations, yield factors and retention values are provided per recipe. Of note, the recipes in this book were developed to serve a minimum of four people. There is still room for continued review and inclusion of more recipes that will provide a wide representation of the Kenyan Cuisine, give correct information on the population diet, holistically tackle malnutrition, inform current programming and influence policies, and consequently address chronic and acute malnutrition in the country in a more sustainable way.
