Comments on: Macaroni Cheese https://dinnerdiary.org/2010/03/28/macaroni-cheese-2/ A (photo) diary of our dinners Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:16:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Antonia https://dinnerdiary.org/2010/03/28/macaroni-cheese-2/comment-page-1/#comment-14050 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:16:29 +0000 http://dinnerdiary.org/?p=4962#comment-14050 I absolutely love macaroni cheese and love the idea of using such interesting cheeses. I’m afraid I’m rather dull and have always stuck to a traditional Cheddar version. I’ll have to try this next time I have some bits of more interesting cheeses that need using up. I made a macaroni cheese with smoked haddock in it last week which sounds odd, but was really good.

Still, the dish is slowly growing on me – if you play about with it, it becomes decidedly better. Still not one I would ever crave but…I can see the comfort…I guess my mum just got it wrong for us when we were growing up! xxx

I was thinking a few weeks ago stinking bishop would be great in it. Tastes even better when you make your own macaroni. Instead of the bechamel I tried making a white wine sauce and adding the cheese to that – lighter and more flavour and the glazed the top with the blow torch – grill would work to though. Mac n cheese lends itself to so much variation. Must try that monchego and sherry version too…..

With Lundulph not eating cheese, I don’t get to make and eat this dish, but I did try Delia Smith’s one and that was great. She uses Gruyere and Parmesan, but I think any cheeses you like will do.

I never really follow a recipe for mac n cheese, pretty much make like you with a white sauce and lots of cheese, though am very partial to adding sliced tomatoes to the top, just like my mum has always done, adds a nice dimesion to all the cheese 🙂
