Do any of my friends like cabbage? I've come up with rather a good recipe for Savoy cabbage and I'd like to dedicate it to someone.

EDITED IN: Sour and sweet Savoy cabbage Eliskimo

Separately, prepare a decent amount of mashed potatoes, on which you will eventually place the cabbage once cooked.

I used frozen cabbage. If you buy it fresh, get rid of the tough outer leaves and chop the rest small. Take one smallish apple, an onion, and a red or yellow pepper, and chop them fine. Place the onion, apple and pepper in a frying pan with some fat and fry them till the apple and pepper are softened and the onion coloured. Add the cabbage, salt, add half a teaspoonful of honey, some fennel seeds, paprika, and cinnamom, and cook together. When the liquid made by the vegetables has nearly evaporated, add some balsamic vinegar, and when that is also nearly dried, pour over the bed of mashed potatoes. Serve warm.

I like cabbage.
My husband, despite being 1/4 Ukranian, can't stand it. So I enjoy it on my own or at his grandmother's house.

Too late. But if I come up with something else I'll keep you in mind. Meanwhile, try this one and tell me what you think.

Let me know how it turns out. It's meant for a main course, for vegetarians (or Catholics on Friday, or just people who want a change from time to time).

Live and learn, eh? Freezing technology is still advancing; the last I saw, only last week, is frozen sliced zucchini/courgettes. I did not think that was possible. Mind you, unlike courgettes, most kinds of cabbage are so durable that there is no great need for freezing.

Is it an genetic trait?

Every Italian I've met is a fantastic cook.
I had a neighbor in Oakland, Ca who had an informal competition with a professional chef, and came close to winning.

Just learning at your Mom's elbow as a child. And there are Italians who can't cook - they just generally tend to marry someone who can.
