Cabbage is in season all year round. This festive dish is delicious and very easy to make. Best of all it is ideal for Christmas Day and can be made a month in advance and frozen!
This is one of the dishes that I demonstrate in the workplace for the December session - taking the hassle out of Christmas - please contact me if you would like to know more about how I can bring my cookery demos to your workplace.
