Red Cabbage
A great vegetable dish, ideal at Christmas, freezes well
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.
