I additionally actually preferred that numerous the components had been one-step forward of prep (the cabbage was already shopped; the sauce was already ready) so the cooking time was tremendous quick!
Downsides: the 4-person plan got here in two separate packing containers which was merely extra to unpack. And it is a little more costly.
We cherished the recipes!!
