Soba noodles, made from buckwheat, are nuttier than those made from wheat.

Super simple. I like it! there are a lot of people out there allergic to both peanuts and sesame seeds.

Love your videos and the variety of recipes. I can't begin to express how frustrating it is to easily locate the "print" icon, and navigate your new site. I really prefer not to write these out by hand... I'll keep trying.

If you click on the video, a print icon pops up and you can print the recipe nicely on one page. Took me a little while to figure that out - it should be front and center.

I totally agree. There is no print button on your new site that allows an efficient, 1-page print. Please fix!

WHY is it so difficult to print the recipe? I understand the desire to go digital BUT a one sheet printed recipe is what I need in the kitchen. As the page is formatted the recipe prints on at least 2 pages.
