I was selfish when I tagged this recipe as I love sweet & sour red cabbage, but DH does not care for it at all. I admit I was a bit surprised to see it paired w/cheese as that would not occur to me. I used my homemade pickled cabbage & could not find a suitable smoked cheese, so I used Camenbert & just placed it atop the salad mixture so it would not take on the red hue of the cabbage. This salad combines several distinctive flavors, but does it very well - a truly unique & tasty new salad favorite for me! Pls see my rating system & thx for sharing this recipe w/us, Ev. Edited to Add: A 2nd helping got me thinking about it & a 3rd convinced me to add a well-deserved 5th star! Yum!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
