I would say that the problem is probably the chef, not the ingredients.
Try this:
-Roast some pine nuts in olive oil until golden and set aside
-Boil 1 cup of Quinoa and 2 cups water together with a cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and salt.
-Once the quinoa is tender add the pine nuts, about 1/2 a cup of chopped italian parsley, and the zest of half a lemon
-Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you can't get down with that then get your taste buds checked.
