I'm now cooking quinoa and amaranth grains together to get a really good range of amino acids. It takes about 20 minutes and 2 cups of water to 1 cup of 50/50 quinoa/amaranth. Probably best done on a good woodstove or open fire, in the latter's case, extra water and a close eye would be manditory. The guacomole omelet looked nice. BCC do a scrambled egg mix. I wonder if plenty of butter would do the trick and convert this into an omelet. Paul Garland's recipe book (Fast and Light - able to be bought online) features 4 homemade spread recipes for dehydrating. Definitely should try them out! His book is great for inspirations and advice, though you'd never imagine his son is a staunch vegan...

Quinoa and amaranth sounds good. We do quinoa cereal (Ceres) cooked up with dried cranberries for breakfast - keeps you on your feet for longer than oats-based porridge we've found and it's yummy. If you can get them, the Breadman range of crackers (made in Christchurch) taste delicious, are filling, and keep really well. With cheese, dried tomatoes etc (and salad greens on a shorter trip - keep surprisingly well in in a Sistema plastic box) they make a great lunch.

I've discovered Italian parsley (which I have in copious amounts) keeps really well on hot multi-day tramps compared with lettuce and watercress. I use it as a salad green in wraps nowadays. Must give the quinoa/cranberry combo a go sometime. I tried the Breadman crackers some time ago. They ain't cheap but has anyone had the Dovedale GF crackers. They're shocking! Just about have to gum the damn things.

I think Just organic delivers the Breadman crackers to your door if you live in Christchurch. The Ovaeasy egg crystals are brilliant and worked well as an omelet when I gave them a go.
