Mac & Cheese (Freelancing for Robyn Webb)

While I'm out on my vacation in Madrid, Spain, I thought I'd share with you some of the freelance photography I do for Robyn Webb's blog. Here's what happens: Robyn comes up with a recipe featuring a fabulous food find, and then I do the grocery shopping, prepare the recipes, take and edit photographs and post the final write-up. In return, I get to keep the products, eat the food, and get $$ :) Not a bad setup.

Here are a few photographs of Individual Size Mac N Cheese. For the full recipe, click here.

First of all, how adorable is this turquoise-colored individual mini Le Creuset with a lid?? I was so excited when Robyn sent me this assignment.

Second of all, believe it or not, but this was the first time I've ever made mac n cheese from scratch. The recipe take a bit more than 10 minutes, but is definitely worth it. Using three kinds of cheeses (cheddar, Parmesan and fontina), milk and half & half produces a rich and flavorful side dish that tastes equally decadent on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th day. Robyn also said you can freeze this dish after baking (and cooling) it.
