    This was delicious! I felt it needed a little more mustard powder and a little more salt, but the "application" is fantastic. Eat it hot or cold, with a good beer. Yum.

    Doing it from memory, I forgot to boil the cabbage first. It took a while to cook and still came out pretty crisp, but was still very good.

    This was very good. I added a little extra salt to the water (based on previous reviews. The dressing came off the heat while the cabbage was still cooking. By the time I'd taken the cabbage for a spin, the dressing didn't look all that appetizing. But I put the cabbage in a bowl, put the dressing on top of it and tossed. It was delicious. My six year old loved it. We ate it while it was still warm. The left overs are now in the fridge and I think we'll have to eat them cold. I imagine the cabbage would wilt if I tried to reheat it. Good side dish.

    I absolutely loved this recipe. It was delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare. What more could you ask for? I don't care for caraway seeds so I left them out and it was great. Even my picky vegetable eaters liked it. Thanks Alton... I can always count on you for a great recipe.

    Re: "It was missing something--not sure what..." I found it lacked salt - I'd used unsalted butter as the recipe called for and my croutons also were not salted. So I added maybe half a teaspoon of salt after it was done, which helped. (Also, the recipe calls for "seasoned croutons" which is somewhat vague so, depending on the ones you've got, maybe some small amount of additional seasoning would help.

    And I'm a lover of the "over cooked, gray boiled cabbage." Who knew cabbage could be so light, sweet and delicately flavored - even better than the best cauliflower. I couldn't believe it would be cooked in two minutes, so I started timing from when the water returned to a boil because I didn't want it crunchy. Next time, I'll go strictly by Alton's timing method to keep it tender/crisp. Alton, you're pure magic (I know you'd say it's science.

    Made this tonight for my wife and girls. Everyone ate it and now my wife thinks I can cook. Excellent recipe.

    It was missing something--not sure what. I tried cheese, but that didn't do it. Maybe some acidity?

    I tried this recipe using considerably less butter, and with panko crumbs.
    It was great. The whole thing disappeared quickly!
