Chef's Notes
Treat your roux with the respect of a monarch. If you rush the flour cooking phase, your sauce will taste like raw paste, and nobody wants to eat drywall.
Pro Tip
Always grate your own cheese from a block if you have the time! Pre-bagged shreds are coated in anti-caking cellulose that turns your silky sauce into a grainy tragedy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the heat to a roaring inferno when adding the cheese, resulting in a separated oily mess with clumps of rubbery cheese cemented to the bottom of your pan.

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
Starches released from the boiling macaroni act as a natural emulsifier, helping bind the fats in the cheese and butter so your sauce stays glossy instead of splitting.
