    Can the ingredients you mention be bought in New Zealand, if not is there an alternative that is just as good?

    Hi Lynley – I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier, I must have missed your comment, since that was the day after I flew to Hawaii.

    I don’t know if Quinoa is available in New Zealand, and there really is not anything exactly like it, but maybe Millet would be a good choice. Do you have that in New Zealand?
