David Lynch Cooks Quinoa

More about this movie

Just like Laura Palmer's favourite food, Garmonbozia, in Twin Peaks (1990), and Twin Peaks (2017), David Lynch's culinary delicacy is quinoa: a high-protein pseudo-cereal. Rich in fibre, minerals, and all nine essential amino acids, this gluten-free seed pairs perfectly with vegetables, and, especially, organic broccoli. In his dimly-lit kitchen, David Lynch prepares his one-medium-pan meal, using 1/2 cup of antioxidant-rich quinoa, a cube of vegetable bouillon, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt. This delicious, easy-to-make dinner takes only seventeen minutes to make, and in the meantime, as David Lynch describes his cooking technique over a glass of red wine, he also recounts a bizarre story of moths, sugar-water, copper coins, and famous carbonated soft drinks.
