Polish Cabbage Rolls Does anyone else feel almost like you are time traveling when making traditional family recipes?

There is something so comforting about making these dishes, as if we are actually connecting to the past as we cook....

Vegetable Stock instead of water gives the much-required depth of flavour to the soup. You can use stock cubes also....
