Macaroni and Cheese is the ultimate comfort food — creamy, familiar, and unpretentious. In this version, a more complex cheese base combines American Muenster with an Italian-style blend, creating a warm, silky sauce where the pasta blends into the cheeses and the caviar pops on top. Ivory in color, it feels decidedly luxurious, and worlds away from the artificial orange mac of childhood.
