As soon as I mentioned Mac and Cheese in my last blog, I knew I had to make it – just one of those things you get in your head and it won’t go away until you deal with it. You have to try Grace’s Mac and Cheese (page 42)! When we included this recipe in the cookbook, I was kind of wondering who would actually use a recipe for mac’n’cheese, but this has turned out to be one of the most popular recipes in the whole book…because it includes Grace’s “magic” ingredient that pushes the whole thing over the top. Plus just add a slice of tomato and a spring of parsley, and voila! - you have a gourmet dish that provides incomparable comfort!
I’m plotting my next project, Butter Tarts are calling me but I might have to call on Deb to provide that extra ingredient – that indefinable family instinct that Grace managed to pass along to her. My butter tarts are good, but Deb’s are beyond good!
