I can't find Fontina cheese. I tried. I gave up. I used Taleggio, which is used earlier in the book for an easily melted cheese... You may have noticed that I'm definitely getting more relaxed about the occasional ingredient substitution - if I'm going to have any chance of finishing this challenge, I think I have to! But I do TRY to find all the right ingredients before swapping... :)
This was scrummy comfort food at it's best. I love macaroni cheese, T can't stand it - doesn't like 'bland' foods. Hah. He liked this though, and finished the leftovers for lunch today :) I'll definitely use this recipe again in the future, the addition of the mustards (Dijon and wholegrain) really added a little kick to it, and it was deliciously creamy and moreish. Served with a salad of rocket leaves and balsamic dressing, yummy!

I cook this one quite a bit now since the Challenge ended - like you, I learned to relax somewhat over the substitution of ingredients, else you'd go mad. And, as Nigel says in the book (I think) use the recipes as ideas - it's your supper after all!
