[email protected]I didn't like this dish at all. The cabbage was tough and the juniper berries were overpowering. The cream sauce was also too heavy.

[email protected]This cabbage dish was okay. The juniper berries were a bit too strong for my taste and the cream sauce was a bit too rich. I think I'll try it again with less juniper berries and a lighter sauce.
