I must admit that my Mac n Cheese usually leaves alot to be desired. So I was just wonder if anyone had a suggestion as to an alternative for the expensive ingredients in this particular recipe until i can perfect it?
Alton Brown!!! Not much need say anything more. But he's one of the main reasons to watch FN. My husband makes fun "it must be 5 o'clock cause Good Eats is on". :)
cheese is NOT expensive, even good cheese. shop around for better prices. if people consider $40 for a meal that feeds 6 people (since its often halved) expensive, try going to a restaurant with that group and see how much each person spends.
this is a deal.
What is the difference between white sharp cheddar cheese and yellow sharp cheddar cheese? Does it matter which one of these you use in Martha Stewarts recipe? Also, is it better to use the 2 cups Gruyere or the 1 1/4 cups Pecorino Romano? I plan to make this recipe very soon and would hate to mess it up by using the wrong cheeses...Thanks for any help!
My feeling is the cheddar doesn't matter, as long as it is sharp. Regarding the Gruyere, we opted for Kraft shredded Swiss (at less than $5 per lb, as opposed to Gruyere at $16 a lb). The Gruyere might be better, but the shredded Swiss was fine and the finished product was still the best I have ever tasted! It is the ONLY M&C that we will ever make again. Perfection!
For those who have made this..which brand of cheddar did you use? Has anyone tried it with a small batch or artisanal cheddar? What about the G
ruyere? Also how could it possibly cost thirty bucks?? I am guessing 15-20.
Everybody loves Alton Brown! He just seems to be the type of guy that we would all want to have a beer with!
In fact, over at 43People (http://spriestley.43people.com/) I have listed Alton as one of only 5 people I would really like to meet - Alton, if your're reading - the list isnt in order of importance otherwise you'd be at the top!
I edit the FoodBlog Chowbelly (http://chowbelly.wordpress.com) and would LOVE to do an email interview with Alton sometime!!
