Macaroni and cheese is easy to find but hard to perfect. My quest began with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese with the rest of my student team on Fridays during my third year surgery rotation (we looked forward to it all week, which tells you something about the hospital cafeteria). Now my favorite mac and cheese comes from the City Bakery. My favorite recipe comes from David Page and Barbara Shinn's Home Cookbook, with slight tweaks. It's grown up tasting and my vegetarian main dish for my niece Vanessa on Thanksgiving.
