"From Sundays at Moosewood. I know this has a pretty bizarre name, but the casserole itself is pretty standard comfort food."

Brilliant comfort food! I didn't have any broccoli so I increased the amount of cabbage and leeks. I sauteed the leeks and cabbage with some of the butter instead of steaming it. I didn't have any mace so I had to use nutmeg instead. If you're going to use nutmeg, use only 1/8t. My boyfriend wants me to make this again soon! -
Loved it! I didn't have mace...so I used sage. -
This was wonderful! I was looking for a recipe to use the last of the homegrown fall crops, and this was perfect. The cabbage, broccoli, and potatoes were all fresh from the garden even in November in Wisconsin. -
Oh my.... Delicious - easy - unexpectedly good. Cut the recipe in 1/2, did not have leeks so used onions. This will definitely be made frequently. DH loved it too - especially the browned cheese on top. Thanks so much for posting this fabulous "keeper" -
5-stars & FABULOUS! I have had "Sundays at Moosewood" in my "cookbook library" for years and never bothered to try this recipe. I decided to give it a go for St. Paddy's day as the main vegetarian dish at our house and I'm so happy I did (I tried it early to see if it was worth making again - it most definitely is!!!) This provided dinner and lunch for us several times this week and each time we took out some to warm up, it just seemed to get better and better. My husband is already asking me to make it again and it will surely become a St. Patrick's Day tradition in our house and throughout the year. Hearty & comforting. Thanks so much for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
