The savoy casserole is a quick, filling meal from the Leib family's recipe collection. Behind the house from Fellingshausen, which is now in the Hessenpark open-air museum, there used to be a farm garden with berries, vegetables, potatoes and a few fruit trees at the original location. Frau Leib will certainly have taken the potatoes and savoy cabbage for this dish from the garden.
