Socca (An Italian Beef, Cabbage & Potato Casserole)
What’s the heartiest dish you know how to make? Chances are, this is heartier. Picture it: a pestata (or paste) is made with lots of garlic, sage, rosemary and olive oil.

The Winning Casserole: Cheese Love
As I hoped, your prodding inspired the Casserole Contest winners, Zack and Graham (pictured above with Emily) to share their recipe. Zack implores: “I can’t over-emphasize the importance of the Bobolink cheddar in this recipe. It is generally only available directly from the farmer/cheesemaker and I know that it is expensive when compared to industrial…
