Penguin To Publish Quinoa Revolution By Bestselling Authors Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming

April 2, 2012 (Toronto) – Penguin Canada has acquired world publishing rights to Quinoa Revolution: Over 150 Healthy, Great Tasting Recipes Under 500 Calories, a new cookbook by bestselling authors Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming, to be published in October 2012.

In their massively successful Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood, Green and Hemming wrote the first definitive quinoa cookbook on the market and made this ancient superfood a popular choice for families across North America. In Quinoa Revolution, they provide over 150 brand new and great-tasting recipes, all under 500 calories per serving.

The book was acquired by Penguin Publishing Director Andrea Magyar, whose thriving cookbook program includes celebrity chefs Michael Smith, Lynn Crawford, and Mark McEwan, and who was recently acknowledged by Quill & Quire for “splendid” cookbook publishing.

“We continue to expand our list of fabulous cookbooks and leading Canadian chefs at Penguin and I’m thrilled to be working with Patricia and Carolyn. Quinoa Revolution is packed with delicious, easy-to-make recipes that are full of good nutrition and kind on the calorie count,” Magyar says. “Everyone wants to eat great food and maintain good health and that’s exactly what Quinoa Revolution offers readers.”

“It fascinates us,” say Green and Hemming, “but people are constantly telling us how quinoa has changed their lives, people with all sorts of health and lifestyle requirements. We want to share even more new ideas that allow people to benefit from quinoa’s amazing nutrition, without compromising taste.”

Quinoa is revolutionizing the lives of people everywhere, addressing numerous health and lifestyle concerns such as weight loss, vegetarian diets, food allergies, gluten intolerance, disease prevention, diabetes, heart conditions, athletic training, and more.

With full-colour food photography throughout, Quinoa Revolution demonstrates the extreme versatility of quinoa. In addition to being one of the world’s healthiest foods, quinoa’s long list of amazing properties are what make it so versatile in any number of recipes. More than just salads, Quinoa Revolution features an array of calorie–friendly recipes, from light snacks to full meals and even desserts. This nutrient–superior superfood has everything for home cooks just discovering quinoa and for fans craving something new.
