This is a pretty basic pilaf recipe, and it's fine. However, I think it's really important to stress in the recipe that you have to rinse the quinoa really well before you cook it!!! Otherwise it tastes terrible.

I didn't like this recipe.The only flavor we could taste was the soy sauce. It just tasted like really salty chicken. We won't make it again.

I made the cake according to the recipe, except I used (2.75 cups) cake flour instead of all-purpose, since I find it usually produces a lighter, better textured cake. I also added a tablespoon of lemon zest. The cake was done in 50 minutes, so I took it out a little early. Next time, as others suggested, I will use 4 eggs instead of the 8 yolks. Also, I will use much less glaze--just too sweet! However, I had no problems removing it from the pan, and it was nicely textured. It disappeared quickly, so we liked it fine, but with a few changes, it will be better suited to my family's tastes.
