Very tasty and creamy! I Used 6 cups (420 grams) shredded green cabbage, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp. black pepper. I did add 1 tsp celery seeds. Although I was skeptical about the cream making the slaw runny, it didn't. I will be making this again and again. So very easy. Thanks for a very good recipe, Miss Annie.

This coleslaw had a nice flavor with a little bit of a ting. Made as written. Thanks Miss Annie. Bullwinkle.

I made this for New Year's Eve dinner with some roasted chicken. Everyone loved it. I made it the night before. I chop my cabbage pretty fine, so I would probably mix the sauce in 4 or 5 hours in advance. I also added a little more vinegar and salt. Thanks for a great recipe!

Another wonderful recipe from Miss Annie, creamy and flavorful old fashioned type cole slaw. Cant wait to try it with the addition of carrots and raisins I think that it would be excellent that way!Thnks again Miss Annie. This was made for the Pick Your Chef competition. PeggyLynn
