MACARONI AND CHEESE ALA ISAAC AND GOOD AND PLENTY
I love me some Isaac, this is from his site: Indulge Yourself with Comfort Food Isaac Mizrahi, our favourite designer/entertainer/man-about-town, hit the mother lode of macaroni & cheese recipes while visiting the kitchen of Eileen Weinberg's Good And Plenty To Go restaurant. There, he and Eileen went through the steps of concocting the most delicious, decadent and cheesiest of creations. Bechamel and Muenster and cheddar, oh my! With "comfort food" all the rage, and PMS always raging, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate security blanket.

ICAAC MIZRAHI'S FAVORITE MACARONI & CHEESE
My husband tuned into to Isaac Mizrahi's new show just as he was making this Macaroni & Cheese with the owner of a shop called Good & Plenty to Go. My husband was so taken with the looks of this dish on TV (and he usually doesn't like Macaroni & Cheese) he immediately saved the show on TIVO so we could recreate the dish. Well, long story short, the results were awesome (a bit greasy from the cheese, though--sop up with some paper towels before serving). It is so rich it isn't something I'd make on a regular basis, but for a special treat it was exceptional and worth the calories!
