A fun and playful cookbook featuring retro, decadent, and kid-friendly mac-and-cheese recipes from the popular Oakland restaurant Homeroom.
Macaroni and cheese is one of America's favorite comfort foods, equally beloved by kids and adults. It relies on simple, affordable ingredients, yet the options for customization and improvisation have revitalized its popularity in restaurants--even upscale ones--and with home cooks. Now, Oakland's Homeroom restaurant, a perennially popular eatery with a menu devoted to mac-and-cheese, shares its secrets to the best-ever mac recipes, alongside recipes for easy sides like Brussels sprouts with bacon and old-school desserts like frozen peanut butter pie. The 50 recipes range from Vegan Mac to Triple Cream Mac, with plenty of permutations in between--like macs with stinky cheeses, veggie-lover macs, classic homestyle recipes like Tuna Mac, and international varieties like Sriracha Mac and Mexican Mac. With a primer on béchamel sauce, noodles, toppings, and beer/wine pairings plus an emphasis on quality ingredients and simple techniques, this affordable, colorful cookbook shows cheese-loving readers how to take the comfort-food staple to inventive new heights.

Product description

Review

''Anyone who paves the way for me to have mac + cheese for breakfast understands my heart's desires. Allison and Erin really know their way around a creamy sauce and amazing cheese combinations. These recipes are fun and majorly comforting--I'm so excited to add this book to my cookbook family.'' -Joy Wilson, author of Joy the Baker Cookbook

''I remember when Allison and Erin first came to me to ask for advice on opening their own restaurant. I knew they had what it takes: intelligence, natural grace, and sincere hospitality. The beauty of their food is the unexpected mac and cheese flavors that pop every time. They provide you with plenty of comfort at Homeroom, and now, their cookbook provides you with the ultimate comfort food!'' -Tanya Holland, chef/owner, Brown Sugar Kitchen

Upon graduating, Erin moved to New York where she worked as a line cook and in pastry before attending law school at Berkeley.

The recipes in here make absolutely gorgeous macaroni cheese. They're a bit more fiddly than the normal recipes we use, but they really are worth it!

I love this little cookbook. It's fun, cute, and easy. The photos are great, I wish there were more! I bought this for my husband who doesn't enjoy cooking and is intimidated by it, but wants to change that. He can make a few easy things and is looking for more to add to his repertoire, and this book fits perfectly. It's easy, family and novice friendly, and includes easy sides and desserts. Plus, it's Mac n Cheese!
I also bought this for my friend who is a chef, (so am I) I know she will love it; we like easy fun things too!
I really like this book, I think it's good value, and I recommend it.
