Once upon a time... there was a green cabbage leaf that dreamed of gastronomy, craving a royal destiny! Before becoming the star of our winter tables, stuffed cabbage traveled through the ages and continents, from peasant kitchens to royal feasts. Known as golubtsy in Russia and sarma in the Balkans, stuffed cabbage in Hungary is a traditional dish served at Christmas with cream and paprika! By the 17th century, stuffed cabbage was gracing French royal tables, enriched with foie gras or truffles 👑 Napoleon made it a dish of choice for his soldiers. But cabbage isn’t just a matter of taste, it’s also a cultural and aesthetic icon. It shines under the lens of photographer Edward Weston, who captured its hidden beauty in black-and-white shots. It made its way to the top of French music with Serge Gainsbourg’s gold record “The man with the cabbage head“. So next time you eat stuffed cabbage, remember: you’re savoring centuries of history, an artistic model and a touch of pop culture!
