The fall and early winter markets are every bit as satisfying as the summer markets with different, deeper colored vegetables taking center stage. An example of this was at the Fairwinds Farm stand at Saturday’s Crystal Springs market in Brunswick. When I remarked to one of the farmers how beautiful the huge, leafy cabbages were that they had on display, she said, “Wait till those winter cabbages start coming to market– they’re wonderful.” I chose the cabbage because of the huge outside leaves. Perfect, I thought, to make stuffed cabbage later in the week. But those winter cabbages are truly delicious, with the colder weather intensifying their peppery taste.
