Can't "boil" kasha !
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe thinking it would replicate my Russian grandmothers recipe ... I always remember using roasted buckwheat,... however. This recipe tells you to just put 1 cup kasha/buckwheat in two cups water - YUCK! Just a blob ... I love buckwheat, but not like this recipe. It should've been roasted first in egg, not like this. Also, they do not specify which "grade" of buckwheat to use. It comes from granulated, small, medium, large, to whole groats - recipe also doesn't tell you what granulation to use. I was so disappointed, and I do a lot of cooking!Read more

It's Kasha Varnishkes!!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Dave is adorable! NIce presence! I think the recipe would achieve better taste if you actually browned the kasha in a fry... pan first -- boiing it first isn't really the way to go. And -- the real name of the dish is Kasha Varnishkes -- let's not be afraid to use the Eastern European name. We all come from somewhere!!Read more

Bitter and flavorless
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the instructions but found this dish to be without flavor. Perhaps I have not developed a taste for Kasha.

With Minor Adjustments-GREAT!!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the Kasha pkg instructions, which uses 1Tbsp butter/margarine and 1/4tsp salt, instead of the recipe's prep and... found it much more tasty. I also omitted the 1 cup of reserved pasta water. I did not think it needed to be wetter, and what do I want to have all that extra starch for? Great tasting recipe.....a totally new favorite! Even my picky daughter liked it.Read more

Too much kasha
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe is nt bad, but the amount of Kasha they ask you to make is unnecessary for the amount you actually use in the... salad. I think I will add nuts and mushroms next time.Read more
