Mac and Cheese
This is just a simple macaroni and cheese recipe made from scratch. I like to top my mac and cheese with sweet Italian sausage or white mushrooms before loading it with even more cheese and baking it in the oven

The sodium citrate is the key to this recipe. It is an emulsifier that helps the cheese melt without separating into a greasy mess.

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?
