These cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been a little more moist.

These cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with more spices.

I'm not usually a fan of quinoa, but these cakes were amazing! The cheese and herbs really complemented the quinoa, and the aioli was a great addition.
