MACARONI AND CHEESE ALA ISAAC AND GOOD AND PLENTY
I love me some Isaac, this is from his site: Indulge Yourself with Comfort Food Isaac Mizrahi, our favourite designer/entertainer/man-about-town, hit the mother lode of macaroni & cheese recipes while visiting the kitchen of Eileen Weinberg's Good And Plenty To Go restaurant. There, he and Eileen went through the steps of concocting the most delicious, decadent and cheesiest of creations. Bechamel and Muenster and cheddar, oh my! With "comfort food" all the rage, and PMS always raging, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate security blanket.

ICAAC MIZRAHI'S FAVORITE MACARONI & CHEESE
My husband tuned into to Isaac Mizrahi's new show just as he was making this Macaroni & Cheese with the owner of a shop called Good & Plenty to Go. My husband was so taken with the looks of this dish on TV (and he usually doesn't like Macaroni & Cheese) he immediately saved the show on TIVO so we could recreate the dish. Well, long story short, the results were awesome (a bit greasy from the cheese, though--sop up with some paper towels before serving). It is so rich it isn't something I'd make on a regular basis, but for a special treat it was exceptional and worth the calories!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, freshly grated cheese, and fresh milk.
- Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is best for macaroni and cheese.
- Make a roux to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is cooked together until it is smooth and bubbly. This will help to prevent the cheese sauce from becoming too thin.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
- Season the cheese sauce to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Add cooked vegetables or meat to the macaroni and cheese for a more hearty meal. Broccoli, cauliflower, and chicken are all popular additions.
- Top the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
- Bake the macaroni and cheese until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the macaroni and cheese cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from becoming too runny.

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit your own taste preferences.
