    Excellent recipes. I’ve heard a lot of people say that kombu is their favorite seaweed, so I think it’s about time I give it a try! Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas-I’m glad that most of these recipes are soups, because we’re getting into the cold winter months now, and I am always craving warm soups!
