Mac and Cheese for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Mac and Cheese for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The rich and indulgent profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced sharp cheddar used that way before.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. I explained the a New England seafood shack context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. craft IPA was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
