At a recent International Food Bloggers Conference in Seattle, a discussion on food trends predicted cabbage as one of the contenders to knock kale off the top spot for coolest cruciferous veggies. Maybe that’s wishful thinking on the part of cabbage lovers who don’t like seeing that humble ingredient spike in popularity only on March 17 when it’s overcooked and paired with corned beef. Here are some tasty dishes that might make you think cabbage deserves some time in the spotlight.

Never heard of it? Give this crave-able Japanese pancake a try and you’ll be hooked. Plus, it’s fun to say. All together now, say: Oko, like Yoko Ono, but with out the Y, then, NO, followed by me and the big finish, yaki like teriyaki.
