Did you know? - Macaroni is mentioned in various medieval Italian sources, though it's not always clear whether it's a noodle or a prepared dish. However, pasta and cheese casseroles are recorded in cookbooks of the time such as the Liber de Coquina showing that they were a known style of dish. A cheese and noodle casserole known as Makerouns was recorded in an English cookbook in the 14th century. It was made with fresh hand-cut noodles which were sandwiched between a mixture of melted butter and cheese. It was apparently considered an upperclass dish even in Italy until around the 18th century.

Its popularity in the United States has been attributed to Thomas Jefferson serving it at a White House dinner in 1802, although a spontaneous and diffuse appearance of the dish is more likely. It has been popular in the United Kingdom since the Victorian era.

The dessert chef is now available for consulting

Did you know? - The traditional chef's uniform includes a toque (traditional hat), white double-breasted jacket, and checked pants. It is instantly recognized by most members of the Western world, due to the prevalence of television celebrity chefs.

The double breasted jacket can be reversed to hide stains. Its thick cotton cloth protects from the heat of stove and oven and protects from splattering of boiling liquids. Traditionally knotted cloth buttons were used because they could stand up to the frequent washing and survive contact with hot items without melting. Typically, men button to the right while women button to the left. The picure shown is correct. She is buttoned on the left.

The hound's tooth checked pattern frequent on trousers serves to camouflage minor stains. The use of white for other pieces of clothing, especially by highly visible head chefs, is intended to denote cleanliness.

About time to "hit the sack" as it is midnight

Did you know? - Hit the sak probably related to the fact that in the U.S.A. in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century mattresses often consisted of old sacks filled with hay or straw.
