    That is so overly complicated for mac and cheese. Here's mine: 120 g pasta, 120 g mild cheddar, 90 g heavy cream. Season to taste. You can probably figure it out on your own, but if you can't: cook the pasta normally. While the pasta is cooking, put the cheese, cream, and seasoning in a nonstick skillet and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted. Take care not to boil the sauce. Drain the pasta, mix it into the sauce. Eat it.

    Pretty sure Mr. Brown will never see this, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciated Good Eats, even from a VERY young age. The first run of the show started when I was 4, and I just really loved cooking shows, even from that young. Alton was like the fun uncle to me, teaching me about cooking, and although I haven't grown up to become a gourmet chef, I always kept that childlike curiosity about learning, and especially food, So, thank you, Mr. Brown, for the wonderful learning sessions and good laughs.

    I was hangry and desperate, so I made half the amount of this recipe with regular milk (used less), cayenne pepper (used waaaaay less), a brick of frozen chopped spinash (I'm so sorry Mr. Brown) and just regular cheddar cheese. And the egg and mustard.

    It was freaking delicious. And as quick to make as boxed mac and cheese!

    I'll soon try it again with the right ingredients. Maybe.

    What kind of feta are you using? There are at least 12 kinds in my local stores ranging in salt content and creaminess. Greek, Helena, Californian, Armenian, etc…

    Kind a glaring oversight (or maybe you just want people to buy the book): you never mention how much pasta the recipe calls for. Since it's an adaptation of the original, I'm going to assume it's for 8oz, which I never understood. Pasta is generally sold in 1-lb packages in the US. Who cracks open a package of pasta and only uses half?

    I've yet to see or taste an Alton Brown recipe that wasn't repulsive. Like, congratulations on becoming a successful food show guy while simultaneously pumping out the most egregious recipes the world has ever seen. It's an absolute wonder. Did you also invent surströmming?

    How would you change this for an electric stove? It retains heat a lot more than a gas top so I've had to adjust my cooking to it. Took me quite a few tries to even get white rice right on it.
