This is a very good recipe but the quinoa does have a strong grainy flavor. I tripled the rum and raisins and added some vanilla which balanced it out better. My only complaint is that this recipe made about a 2.5 liter bowl full. Way too much unless you're having a huge party. Next time I'll half or fourth the recipe.
