OK, I have a confession .. I am LOVING Gordon’s new TV show with recipes and cooking tips.

I actually never got the recipe from her, but I thought:  ok – got the cabbage, got the sausages, so what’s to stop me! and here is the product. Although to tell the truth where I come from this is a very common dish but it is cooked with smoked pork ribs. … Continue reading Dragana’s Cabbage and Sausage Marriage
