If one was particularly determined (and had somehow been spared the lactose intolerance gene), they could definitely prepare an entire week's worth of dinners using just the macaroni and cheese chapter from "Top Chef" star Kenny Gilbert's cookbook "Southern Cooking, Global Flavors."
This book, as the name suggests, focuses on taking classic American recipes — especially those from the South where Gilbert was raised and continues to cook — and adapting them using international inspiration. As a result, Gilbert's cookbook has not one, but five unique macaroni and cheese recipes, ranging from Chicken Wing Mole with Charred Corn-Jalapeño Mac & Cheese to Port-Glazed Chicken Thighs with Saint André-White Truffle Mac & Cheese.
