Half of a cabbage I bought for another dish – and which has been waiting in the refrigerator ever since, along with some carrots and a couple of potatoes together formed the inspiration for this evening’s meal: cabbage soup and buckwheat kasha. I know, I know – it sounds a bit drab, but this Russian staple is a great meal for a cold evening.
