The Cheese Society: Macaroni Cheese

I selected this as you can’t get a much cheesier dish than this one -whose main ingredient is cheese. After all we were at The Cheese Society.

Macaroni cheese is a personal childhood favourite so it had a lot to live up to, my Dad’s ancient recipe is sacred.  The bar was set.

There was an option available to have the addition of chilli flakes, I’m a fan of spicy food and the waitress was persuasive so I opted for the extra kick.

I broke open the crunchy breadcrumbs and baked cheese on top to reveal the hidden delight: thick, creamy cheese sauce smothering the perfectly cooked macaroni pasta.

The smell was divine, they certainly didn’t skimp on the main ingredients; what a fantastic start.  I couldn’t wait to see if the taste matched it’s beautiful appearance and presentation.

The texture was faultless hitting the most crucial points of smoothness and thickness and the taste didn’t let it down either.  A rich explosion of cheesy heaven with just the right amount of heat in the back of the throat to compliment this classic.

Dad, it’s not yours but competition definitely looms.
