Pizza al Taglio with Onions and Provolone
Pizza al taglio is a Roman-style pie known for its airy, bubbly crumb and crispy crust, often likened to focaccia. This version relies on a long-fermented homemade dough; allow for at least 12 hours, but shoot for 24 hours to let the structure and flavor fully develop.
Beef Braciole with Provolone
Braciole is an Italian-American dish of flattened beef that’s rolled with provolone, prosciutto, garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs, then braised in tomato sauce. Called involtini, or “little bundles,” it originated in southern Italy, where family variations have been passed down for generations. Today, it’s a classic Sunday supper, traditionally served over pasta or creamy polenta.
Provolone-Stuffed Bolognese Shells
Jumbo cheesy pasta shells are baked atop a flavorful Bolognese sauce, topped with creamy Alfredo and breadcrumbs, and broiled until toasted and melty. This recipe is easy but takes some patience as the sauce has to simmer for a few hours. Set aside a lazy afternoon to allow these complex flavors to develop. Serve with a crisp, light salad and a glass of Chianti.
If You Love Cheese and Butter, You MUST Visit Little Cloud
Twenty minutes outside of Madison, Wisconsin, lies Paoli: A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town rooted in the state’s long-standing dairy tradition. From 1888 to 1980, Paoli served as a hub for butter and Swiss cheese production, thanks to a factory perched on the banks of the Sugar River. In 2022, butter production returned. The year prior, a local group of families revitalized and reopened the building, naming it The Seven Acre Dairy Company. Landmark Creamery moved in the following year, breathing new life into the space with its award-winning butter. There’s also a boutique hotel and several eateries on-site, including Little Cloud Restaurant.
Little Cloud’s Café de Paris Compound Butter
The famous butter sauce this recipe is derived from was invented in Switzerland in 1930 at its namesake restaurant—and the 96-year-old classic gets a farm-to-table update at Little Cloud Restaurant in Paoli, Wisconsin. Executive chef Andrew Wilson uses Landmark Creamery butter crafted on-site by founder Anna Landmark. Let it melt on top of a grilled […]

A Chef from Amsterdam Redefines Southern Cooking in Alabama
In Fairhope, Alabama, food and community are inseparable. Along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, a rare early morning phenomenon known as a jubilee brings flounder, crab, and shrimp rushing to the shallows. This spectacle occurs in only two bodies of water in the world: Mobile Bay and Tokyo Bay. In coastal Alabama, neighbors once rang bells and knocked on doors to rouse each other, gathering at the water’s edge to share in the bay’s sudden bounty. That same spirit of resourcefulness and connection can be found at The Hope Farm, a modern and sustainable farm-to-table restaurant that draws from a web of local growing methods to bring fresh food to its tables. Both jubilees and The Hope Farm honor what the land provides and turn it into something worth gathering around, a philosophy mirrored by the restaurant’s newly promoted chef, Emily Ackerman.
