MACARONI 'N' APPENZELLER CHEESE WITH CREME FRAICHE
Serious macaroni and cheese for serious macheads. This easy, non-baked recipe comes from Quick and Simple magazine April 2006. Top quality Gruyere or Emmenthal can be substituted for the appenzeller. Wikipedia states: "Appenzeller cheese is a hard cow's-milk cheese produced in the Appenzell region of northeast Switzerland. An herbal brine, sometimes incorporating wine or cider, is applied to the wheels of cheese while they cure, which flavours and preserves the cheese while promoting the formation of a rind. Appenzeller has a documented history of at least 700 years. Today, about 75 dairies produce it, each with a different recipe for their brine wash. Most of the recipes are trade secrets. The cheese is straw-colored, with tiny holes and a golden rind. It has a strong smell and a nutty or fruity flavour, which can range from mild to tangy, depending on how long it is aged".

Steps:
- Cook the elbow macaroni in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. *Important*: Reserve 1 cup of the pasta liquid.
- Return the hot, cooked pasta to the pot. Toss with the garlic, shallot, shredded cheese, creme fraiche, nutmeg, salt, pepper and butter. Heat should be on low but no higher to avoid burning the cheese.
- Ladle in approximately 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking liquid, tossing ingredients gently.
- If the cheese does not melt right away, increase heat to medium for a few moments. The cooking liquid will help create a light, saucy coating of cheese for the pasta. Most importantly, be extra careful not to burn the ingredients!
- If the pasta seems dry, ladle in a bit more liquid, only 1/4 cup at a time, until the macaroni is creamy but not watery.
- Transfer to pasta platter and serve hot.
- Garnish with fresh minced parsley if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Combine the creme fraiche, 2 mustards, shallots, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it's barely done. (The fish will flake easily at the thickest part when it's done.) Be sure not to overcook it! Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the top.

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta, stir well, bring back to the boil and then cook, uncovered, for a couple of minutes. Tip in the cauliflower florets, bring back to the boil again and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until both the pasta and the cauliflower are tender but still firm to the bite. Drain well. Preheat a hot grill.
- Add the crème fraîche, mustard and all but a good handful of the cheese to the pasta pan. Stir over a low heat until the cheese just starts to melt. Tip the pasta and cauliflower into the cheese sauce and gently stir together. Season and transfer to a flameproof dish.
- Scatter the tomatoes over the top followed by the rest of the cheese and some pepper. Grill for about 5 minutes until browned and bubbling.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. Appenzeller is a great choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Emmental, or another Swiss cheese.
- Cook the macaroni until it is al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a little bite to it.
- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot when you are making the cheese sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Add the cheese to the sauce slowly, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from clumping.
- Season the cheese sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately, topped with crème fraîche and chopped chives.
