Booklist Review
HOMEROOM, a popular restaurant in Oakland, California, specializes in just one dish: macaroni and cheese. This isn't your gummy, salty, run-of-the-mill school cafeteria mac and cheese. Befitting its San Francisco Bay address, HOMEROOM daily offers dozens of variations on its signature dish, some with multiple cheeses, some with meats, some with seafood, some with vegetables. Each has a foundation of bechamel sauce, which serves to bind the pasta with cheeses and other ingredients. Arevalo and Wade address the perennial conflict between partisans of crunchy-topped vs. creamy-throughout by offering both alternatives. An appropriate wine or beer recommendation for each version also appears. For closers, HOMEROOM offers a dessert version of macaroni and cheese made with fruit and nuts, basically a riff on a traditional Jewish noodle kugel. Other desserts include carrot cake, buckeyes, and a homemade version of Oreo cookies.--Knoblauch, Mark Copyright 2010 BooklistAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
ALLISON AREVALO was born into a food-loving Italian family in New York, where she helped her great-grandmother cook Sunday family dinners and learned the basics of cooking. Allison pursued a career in marketing before deciding to follow her true passion in life- food. In 2008, Allison and her husband quit their jobs and moved to Oakland, CA, in hopes of opening a restaurant. Their dream came true in 2010, the year she and Erin opened the doors to Homeroom.
ERIN WADE is a chef-turned-attorney-turned-chef-again. Erin's love for cooking was sparked by her father's homemade mac and cheese and her mother's vast cookbook collection. Erin worked as a line cook and in pastry at restaurants in New York before attending law school at Berkeley. After practicing law for a year, Erin came to her senses and decided to return to her love of cooking by opening Homeroom with Allison. She lives in Oakland with her husband, Uri, and her daughter, Ellie-her favorite cooking partners.
