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!

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!!

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