I really enjoyed reading the history of this restaurant as well as the reasoning behind the choices made in their recipes. While not all of the recipes have pictures, those that do are good. I've made a few of these recipes, and have enjoyed them all. Definitely worth the addition to your cookbook library if you enjoy mac & cheese!

The Pasta Friday Cookbook
Let's Eat Together
by Allison Arevalo

With over 70 recipes in this book there is definitely something for everyone! The idea of having one day a week to socialize and to do so using a different pasta and sauce each week of the year is interesting. I have loved pasta since I was three or four and living next door to an Italian woman who made pasta in her kitchen. Anyway, this book was a delight to look through and gave me much food for thought.

Ms Arevalo has given clear cut directions in her recipe and in the first chapter tells why she started this tradition and gives hints on how to be successful should you decide to do this yourself. How much for 2 or 4 or 25 people and how to also figure out how much meat, sauce etc is mentioned. The recipes are set up by season starting with Fall and each season has ingredients that should be readily available. The photography is lovely and made me want to sit down with t he bottle of wine I had brought with me to enjoy a meal with all the others there for the meals.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

By the owners of Homeroom, a mac & cheese restaurant in Oakland, Ca, this contains recipes for all different ways to make the comfort food. There is the classic cheddar mac & cheese, and then the spicy chili mac, a breakfast mac topped with a fried egg, truffle mac, blue cheese and walnut mac, mac cakes (like crab cakes), and vegan mac. There are also recipes for veggie side dishes and some desserts, including a mac made with brown sugar and strawberries.
