Will: I'm really glad you shared this recipe. My partner and I had this last night, and it really finished off our day well after we'd worked out.

creampuff: Hi Pete You give great advice about avoiding crash diets -- research shows that most people who lose weight that fast will gain in back right away, and the yo-yo effect is very unhealthy. I can't wait to try this recipe!

Patient Perseverance: Hi Pete: Good recipe! It contains the major ingredients of any good Italian meatloaf (meatballs don't exist in Italy, but can be identical to meatloaf in everything but shape). For those who might not like the flavor of buffalo meat, they can get 95% lean ground beef, albeit at a higher price, and just substitute it. Cheers!

Heaven: Clearly the best cooking video you have done. The first part was beautifully scripted and the dish was tastefully healthy. You looked awesome and seemed at the top of your game. The hints about your training made good sense and tips for photo shoots were very insightful. I learned alot about your craft from this one show and another way to add buffalo meat into my diet. Chef Peter you did it again.
