Thanks Quirky Cooking for helping me get my measurements correct - quirkycooking.blogspot.com

NB:  IF you're using soaked Quinoa you might want to lower the water content by 150g or so.  Depending on how you like your risotto texture to be....obviously when it's been soaked it's holding a lot of water already.  Hope that makes sense.
