This is a wonderful way to cook cabbage. I believe that you could use other types of cabbage. The ingredients used all tied together nicely, and the cabbage flavor was pleasing. The directions were very easy to follow. This recipe now goes into my tried & true cookbook, to be used again! Thanks for sharing this lovely dish, Mimi. -
Very nice! I served this with roast lamb and potatoes, both crusted with herbs and spices. The mild creamy cabbage made a great contrast to these. I took the liberty of adding a little salt and pepper, otherwise followed the recipe. A simple, comfort-food kind of dish. -
Great recipe! I love the flavour of Savoy, but always just made it mashed with potatoes and butter. This is much more appetizing! Used regular stock though, i.e. with salt, and added a tad of nutmeg (for me, that's the only spice that goes with Savoy). Made my own bread crumbs from stale baguette. Served it with smoked pork chops (Kasseler) and boiled potatoes. -
This is really delicious! We used a green cabbage rather than savoy and thickened the gravy with rice flour rather than wheat flour. On impulse, we also threw some leftover cut-up chicken into the gravy. We skipped the breadcrumbs and lemon because we didn't have them, but we'll try them next time. -
We really enjoyed this cabbage. We don't usually make casseroles out of vegies, but I wanted to something different. We had a bit of goat cheese and added that to the sauce, but left everything else the same. We'll make this often. Thanks Mimi!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
