The Inspiration of UrbnSpice Series
How could I resist it? It was just sitting there in all its beauty, beckoning me to create a culinary masterpiece. I felt that my favourite green grocer had created this display to entice just me – it worked! It was a magnet. Would you be able to pass this gorgeous vegetable by without admiring its beauty? I could not. My prize was a Savoy Cabbage.

Market Inspiration: Savoy Cabbage
I watched that morning how passersby did not even give this gorgeous display a second look. Perhaps they did not know what to do with it; perhaps they were far too busy to consider its use; and perhaps, they were stuck in a cooking rut that would not allow them to consider this prize.
My mind was spinning with possibilities – how would I use it to its best advantage? How could I show off its bounty? Who could I share it with?

This beautiful cabbage was destined to be included in my gluten-free repertoire – a stuffed cabbage, but not just any stuffed cabbage.
