Ode to the Cabbage

There are so many reasons to love the humble cabbage. It is one of those vegetables that you can purchase on a Saturday and will happily hang out in your fridge waiting for you to eat your way through your more fragile veggies.
Unfortunately one of the reasons it sits so long is one is often at a loss as to an exciting way to prepare it.Cabbage makes a great fall and winter salad. I could be more banal and More
