Buy This Book!! Your Kids Will Thank You Over and Over!!!

This book appeals to me on several levels: I teach elementary school students (computers), I like to collect cookbooks, and I love Mac & Cheese. It's hard to classify this book so I will just use one word: Fun! The initial section of the book called the Easy Recipe Finder is one of the clearest and most extensive that I have ever seen, but the kids will understand it too as it is done with graphics. Also of interest on pages 6 and 7 is a comparison of the eleven ways to cook Mac & Cheese in which level of difficulty, time, taste, texture, calories and tasting notes are listed. There are two additional `Comparison' sections that discuss a wide variety of cheeses and how to use them, and a section labeled, `What Goes On Top'. The recipes? Creative, versatile and wonderfully illustrated. I mentioned the recipe for Mac & Cheese pizza on a usergroup and a nice lady from Virginia emailed me asking for the recipe since she couldn't afford the book, but thought that her two grandchildren would like it. I sent it to her and she replied that she was sure that it was going to be a hit!My favorites? Too early to decide, but the Stuffed Baked Potatoes (did I say that I love potatoes too?) and the Baked Rigatoni are definitely 'keepers'. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but I think I'll wait to serve that to guests.This is however, a children's book! It is replete with illustrations that will appeal to the kids. It also includes a picture of every recipe. This is a wonderful opportunity to involve children in making decisions and menu planning. Cooking is a tremendously powerful teaching/learning experience for young children and this book is a treasure trove of culinary delights. I showed it to our school librarian and she is going to purchase it for the cooking section. She is also buying a copy for her mother and for herself, as her kids like Mac & Cheese too!If this review hasn't convinced you, you can get more information at maccheese.com. You can order shirts and hats etc. The authors and the publisher seem assured that this book is a hit...I wholeheartedly agree!

Great for parents, environmentally conscious, food lovers

Everyone with kids should have this book! I've only had my copy a month and already we've discovered many new family 'classics' and kid favorites. What I especially love about the book is that it really runs the gamut, from 'quick hits' to add to boxed mac & cheese for those times you have no time, to gourmet mac and cheese dishes like 4 cheese mac & cheese (with asiago, gouda, white cheddar & pecorino romano) and mac and cheese jam tarts (yes, believe it -- they are great). I also like that the book offers a lot of alternatives to boxed mac & cheese, and so will appeal to people concerned for our planet who want to reduce their reliance on over-packaged foods. High quality production and lots of laughs along the way. You'll reach for this book again and again!

Problems Solved!

This wonderful book caught my eye as I was shopping for a gift for my niece who is going off to college. I was initially attracted by the great charts and graphics but the recipes are tasty too. I have since bought several more copies to give as gifts. Although the book is perfect for young adults starting off on their own, because it takes a familiar food and provides endless variations on it, I have found myself reaching for it more than once when I need a dinner idea which will appeal to my teenage children. A great find.

You'll LOVE this book!

My neighbor gave me the book because she knows how much my kids like mac & cheese. I've only tried 2 recipes, the mac & cheeseburger pie, which we loved and the layered mac & cheese, which uses only 3 ingredients and took as little time to prepare as Kraft. I have so little time to cook that I am really pleased to have a book that helps me vary my kids favorite dish. I might even be able to sneak in a vegetable or two. I am going to give the book to all my friend's with kids for Christmas. "
