And my last comments for the evening on this recipe. I cooked the quinoa as per her instructions (boil for 1-2 minutes, remove from heat and cover for 15 minutes). The quinoa was still hard and pebble like so I looked at the packet instruction and it says to bring to a boil and then simmer for 15-20 or until water is absorbed. That worked better as I had to reheat and simmer the quinoa. The ingredients also say 1/4 cup quinoa but that doesn't state whether they mean dry or prepared. They also say 1/2 cup water and since quinoa has a 1:2 quinoa to water ratio, I assume that means 1/4 cup dry quinoa but the method says to make 1 cup of quinoa, so again there are unclear instructions.Some more issues with this recipe, it's the All The Greens bowl. The photo features fresh dill, one side of the photo has a whole bunch of it and it's sprinkled on top of the bowl but it's not part of the ingredients or the method. The ingredients also call for slivered almonds while the photo shows sliced almonds. I know, seems like a negligible difference but a chef should know the difference. There is also no specification for red quinoa versus multi color or green kale versus purple/red. I am a terrible cook so I'm the type of person who needs specific instructions and if there are different varieties, at least say any variety is fine or recommend a specific one. So many small issues and inconsistencies already. I wouldn't care as much if this wasn't a paid thing because who can fault a free thing? But this was expensive and so far is not professional.
The broccolini instructions say to add oil, garlic, and broccolini to a pan and saute on medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until tender, but aren't you supposed to heat the oil first? The broccolini took about 10 minutes to get tender and I had to turn the heat down to medium low because it started burning the leaves while the stalk stayed totally fine and crisp.
For the boiled eggs, she says to bring to a boil for a certain amount of time based on the yolk you want but she doesn't say what to do after. I know it seems dumb to say you don't how to make a boiled egg, but I've never been able to get set whites with a jammy center and her eggs always seem perfect. It doesn't say whether to stick the eggs in an ice bath, run them under cold water, let them sit, etc. One of the selling points was teaching cooking basics but this isn't really followed through.
Finally, I found the seasoning amounts odd. The ingredients calls for salt and pepper and then 1 tsp chilli flaked. I found it odd she didn't give measurements for the other two or just say season to taste. 1 tsp chilli flake is actually quite a bit and I was surprised there was no note like "adjust to spice preference" or "halve chili for a more mild spice."
The calories worked out to 579 cal (with two eggs) 48g carbs, 35g fat, and 25g protein. The flavor was super bland and tasted mostly of sweet cucumber which was kind of gross with the egg and chili. I look forward to not eating it again.
