Cauliflower cheese is traditional English fare that is served as a main dish but can also be served as a side. Despite the name that leads one to believe that it would be a chunk of cheese that closely resembles a brain, it is truly an amazing dish. Give it a try, you'll love it.
The wonderful homemade goodness of this creamy macaroni and cheese makes it a staple side dish in my mother's kitchen and in mine as well. It has tender noodles and a crowd-pleasing golden crumb topping. -Maria Costello, Monroe, North Carolina
For rich, warm comfort food start with a simple roux of butter and flour. Add milk and sharply flavored Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses to make a velvety sauce, then bake with macaroni. Buttered breadcrumbs and a dash of paprika make an attractive crust.
Fondue is a fun and informal way to gather friends and family together. Consider offering some fresh vegetables such as sliced peppers and halved mushrooms in addition to the chunks of French bread.
