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.
