Gourmet Mac & Cheese for $1.99
A question I always ask myself when I see a dish is, “how did the chef think to use that particular ingredient, and not something else?” Why use vinegar, not lemon juice? Does using tarragon instead of thyme really make a difference? The fact of the matter is, many ingredients can be interchangeable and it [...]

Last weekend saw the first of hopefully many rooftop barbecues here in NY. I figured my mac n cheese would be a good portable and non-offensive potluck contribution. It wasn’t until my one vegetarian friend said he would be arriving late, that I reached over to the prosciutto I bought just in case and shredded [...]
