Truffle Mac and Cheese
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan
- 2
Once melted, add flour one spoon at a time and stir until mixed. Set aside to let mixture cool for at least 10 mins.
- 3
Warm 1 cup of milk and slowly add into the butter and flour mixture and mix
- 4
Once butter and flour mixture is combined with first cup of milk, keep on medium heat and add cheese and milk to start moving towards consistency desired. Add salt, pepper to taste. Add 3 tablespoons of truffle oil. Keep stirring to ensure no separation of the sauce at this stage.
- 5
Add more cheese, flour and milk to get to consistency desired. Add salt, pepper, truffle oil to taste.
This sauce has 750ml milk, a 4th tablespoon of flour and cheddar and stilton cheese.
- 6
Boil macaroni in salted water until soft. Keep slightly under cooked.
- 7
Mix macaroni into sauce well. Add macaroni little by little to ensure sauce quantity is adequate.
- 8
Add the mixture into a baking dish. Put one layer of Mac and cheese, add a layer of grated cheese, and then add the rest of the Mac and cheese before adding another layer of cheese. The middle layer can be skipped if the dish is thin. Bread crumbs on the top layer would make a good addition. Can also sprinkle some more truffle oil / truffle shavings on top.

Bake on 180 degrees. Monitor closely for timing but probably 20-30 mins. Finish with some grill mode to brown. Picture from a previous Mac and cheese made with gruyère, cheddar and little mozzarella.

Easy Gratin Cups Made In A Toaster Oven (for lunchboxes) Easy Gratin Cups Made In A Toaster Oven (for lunchboxes)
Ready-to-bake frozen gratin cups are available, but I can't be buying them all the time, so this is what I make whenever I put a gratin cup in a bento. They can be made very easily so they're great for busy mornings.Don't let the milk overflow the baking cup. If the gratin is loose, add some cheese. You can use any ingredients you like - frozen mixed seafood, bacon, green beans, etc. - whatever you have in the refrigerator. If the gratin cups are too packed the top part becomes hard, so I recommend just having enough that they're floating in the milk. For 2 cupcake-sized aluminium cups' worth. Recipe by Arikan

Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese
Finally, it is here! I had been wanting to make this dish for as long as I can remember. My daughters have been requesting for this for ages. Perhaps I couldn't find a great mac n cheese recipe, I mean I'd tried my fair share of mac n cheese, home-cooked and at eateries. I wasn't at all impressed. Sure, some are Instagram-worthy with all that photogenic cheese pull but most fall flat on flavors.They were either too gloopy or too blend without much depth in flavors. Some of the cheese sauces are too over-powering which kinda makes me wanna throw up. Yes, it is that bad. And please don't get me started on the bread crumbs. I also had tried my hands on some of the celebrity chef's recipes, but I still wasn't impress. Until I stumbled upon Heston Blumenthal's version. He is right, you will never cook mac n cheese the same way again.He is right about the typical cheese sauce or mornay sauce whereby it starts with a roux and mixing in the milk and cheese. The roux will somehow makes the sauce gloopy and mask the flavors of the cheese. He switched the traditional ingredients and methods out for 4 simple elements: wine, stock, corn flour and cheese. I was a bit mindblown cos I finally found someone who agrees with me. Without much hesitation, I went ahead with his recipe and guess what? He also uses the same pasta cooking method as I am. How cool is that?
