I didn’t have to smell it cooking to be transported back to my childhood when my dad made stuffed cabbage learned from his mother who had grown up in a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire that we think is now The Czech Republic. I don’t have his recipe, because there was no recipe written down, but I watched him make it so often that I could do a pretty close version. Thanks for the memories and, as always, great recommendations!
I SO enjoy your essays, including this one (though the chances I’ll ever make stuffed cabbage are slim to none; nevertheless, highly engaging!) and the farewell piece to your piano. You manage to weave in so many compelling threads. Thank you, Martha!
A really great read. I'm So excited to devour your new book. As for this dish I have no idea about how this would taste but you had best believe I may get adventurous in the kitchen. XO Rebecca

Charlotte! I love this, thank you so much.
Scents do hit immediately, and can unleash a whole series of evocations! I'm looking forward to reading Three Muses...
Ana Marina, thank you!
