Customer Reviews

A mac and cheese lover's must-have!

Clearly written, with easy to follow instructions, and guide to ingredients, including definitions and sources. I love the 50's style art and kitchy-ness of this wonderful comfort food book. The recipes go from simple and basic to complex and gourmet. Even my husband loved this book so much, he followed a recipe and made a decent meal from scratch for the first time in his life.I plan to attempt most of the recipes in this book.

YUMMY AND UNIQUE!

Macaroni and cheese - kids like it, it's affordable, quick, simple to prepare and easy to digest. However, this is not your typical macaroni and cheese in a famous brand name box that you can prepare in less time than it takes to iron you socks! I liked this book particularly because it had so many variations and quite honestly, some I had never thought of and others that did not sound too appealing on the surface but turned out to be down-right delicious! There is a version found here with lobster that will pass for a gourmet meal! The choices are endless and the cost of preparing these recipes can be as extravagant or as modest as the ingredients you choose to add. If you are one who does not care for that "little blue box," do not give up on the macaroni and cheese idea yet, as least not until you have tried some of the recipes found in Schwartz's book. You can tickle your taste buds with a different delight each week of the year!

Cookbook of the Year!

This book was simply outstanding. I like to cook in my free time, and I have a lot of cookbooks, but I thought the recipes here were just terrific: clear, easy to follow...and with great results. Plus, you get insights and ideas from some of the best chefs on the world. I never knew that macaroni and cheese could be so delicious in so many ways.

Who needs Kraft?

In this time of uncertainty, there is nothing more comforting than a big bowl of macaroni and cheese! These recipes are easy and absolutely scrumptious! I recommend highly! Who knew that truffles and mac could be so fabulous!
