About the author
I actually like the taste of cabbage even though there are many people that dislike it. And now that I know its many beneficial properties, I?m going to include it more often in my diet, and those recipes seem very good to start. Thank you very much for the information
cabbage rolls are classic, I like them very much, and I like that classic german recipe made with cabbage,…. I don’t remember the name right now but it’s very nice, with some sausage, delcious
This was a great article. It’s not very often that you hear about people wanting to cook with cabbage anymore, but really, it’s a great vegetable. I really like stir frying it, because it does lose a lot of its size when it’s cooked. Cabbage rolls definitely sound the best, adn the most difficult to make!!
