Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate, all-American comfort food. Most Americans, especially children, are familiar with the version that comes out of the blue cardboard box, but acclaimed cookbook author Joan Schwartz has something to say about that in her collection Macaroni & Cheese. Schwartz has compiled over 50 original and inventive recipes from many well-known chefs and restaurants. Most of the recipes start off with a basic béchamel sauce (milk whisked into a roux) and add various domestic and foreign cheeses to the hot mixture, but some find room for more exotic ingredients, like truffles, duck prosciutto, oysters, sausage, and codfish. In addition, there's a glossary of almost 40 milk and goat cheese varieties that appear within the recipes. After sampling some of the more unusual recipes with such fascinating and complementary flavors, it will be time to put your standard assumptions about mac and cheese to rest, and put the blue box at the back of the pantry shelf. --Teresa Simanton.

A hilarious tale of Philadelphia politics at the gritty street level

Newly repackaged and available for the first time in trade paperback, The Sunday Macaroni Club is a magnificently told story by a powerful author. Steve Lopez gives readers a vivid and rich portrait of local politics gone amok, and one woman's quest for happiness and fulfillment. Fleeing a disastrous love affair in Boston, Assistant District Attorney Lisa Savitch--beautiful, brilliant, brave--relocates to Philadelphia, where she is partnered with ex-FBI agent Mike Muldoon. Lisa is assigned to get the goods on the Sunday Macaroni Club--an old-time, South Philly political machine led by Augie Sangiamino, a former United States Senator, and his two cronies, state representative "Ham" Flaherty, who's running for Congress, and Judge "Izzy" Weiner. In the style of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, Lopez tells a story that is as funny as it is true to life.

"Richly knowing, very funny."--The Washington Post

"Lopez entertains with a style that's crisp and colorful."--San Diego Union-Tribune

"Steve Lopez's message has never been more human, or more entertaining."--Philadelphia Inquirer.
