Mac and Cheese

I have seen American Mac and cheese with elbow macaroni but it is to small. And I hate Kraft Mac and Cheese!!! I am gonna get hate of that but the very yellow cheese powder. 🤢🤮. Here is my Mac and Cheese recipe.

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?

Three cheeses!

Good ole’ fashion baked Mac n cheese

This is a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese with a little extra. Adding the sausage, peppers and onions makes this a full meal. Experiment with different types of cheese that melt well: cheddar gouda, fontaine, provolone, swiss, gruyere, muenster, jack, etc. I used gouda in the pictures.

yum

This mac'n'cheese recipe is dairy-egg-free. The "cheese" sauce texture is created by pureeing potatoes, carrots, onions, cashews, garlic and nutritional yeast.My recipe was inspired by Jordan Kenna's "Vegan Mac'n'Cheese" on tasty.com

"The kids will be around the corner in seconds."

Yum!

My step-mom used to make this for me every time I was at my dad's. It was one of my favorite meals as a child and is now one of my kids favorite meals!

You choose the cheese.However, a mix of White Cheddar and Parmesan, or Creamy Gouda are the go-to varieties in my house.Cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni) noodles are great if you can find them. Better texture and hold more cheesy goodness.
