Page 180 in my copy of Jane Brody’s Good Food Gourmet is wrinkly and stained.  It contains a recipe for unstuffed cabbage, a Kugel family staple since the cookbook came out in 1990.

 Born in 1941 and just celebrating her eightieth birthday, Brody writes a column called “Personal Health” that covers health issues for all generations, but especially for ours.  She has been a science and medical writer for The New York Times since 1965.

Brody recently talked to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the best-known name associated with the covid pandemic, about how to be a healthy, productive octogenarian. Listen at https://nyti.ms/3f7oo0x

And try Bea’s unstuffed cabbage.

Many thanks to all of you sending good wishes to Peter for his full recovery. It’s a journey in progress.
