Others put their summer bounty of tomato sauces in there, plus pesto, three-layer cakes, casserole dishes of lasagna and macaroni and cheese, pound cakes and assorted cookie doughs.

Every cook needs easy, 15 minute vegetable sides in their back pockets. I have many that feature cabbage -- salads, soup garnishes, and stir-fries. This Chinese cabbage just entered my life by way of Betty Liu's cookbook, The Chinese Way, which was published in 2024 by Voracious/Little Brown. Betty focuses on core Chinese culinary values by drawing a through line from traditional recipes to modern riffs.
