Roasted Potatoes, Leeks and Cabbage
"Plain old cabbage becomes a delight when roasted alongside potatoes and leeks. Roasting vegetables has become increasingly popular, because it really turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. The leeks really add a mild onion flavor to make this dish extra-tasty. Sometime, I also throw in some baby carrots too."

Cant believe how good this was! I did omit the caraway seeds and couldnt find the small red potatoes so quartered the larger ones then cut into thirds. Served with an eye of round roast with mushroom gravy. Was a great lunch warmed up the next day! Made and reviewed for CQ 2015. -
Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe JackieOhNo. We really enjoyed the vegetables prepared this way. Love the caramelizing of all the vegetables. I did over cook them a little but they tasted great. Made for CQ2 - Ireland

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
