"I tried this recipie and it was horrible. The sauce was glommy and did not taste at all good. Nothing I tried to do would save it. I suspect that it was the size of the potato. I did manage to save the shimp by throwing out the sauce and subsituting store bought spicy seafood sauce. I will never try this one again. Actually, I would like to comment that a number of Alex's recipies are not very good. I keep hearing her brag about her time working in French Bistros etc, but it makes one wonder if she was, perhaps, asked to leave. Sorry Alex."

"I tried this recipe after seeing it published in The St. Pete Times. I have watched the show where this is featured numerous times. SORRY INA, it has very little taste. I had guests over and finally got it out of them that they thought it was bland. I will be tossing it out. I had left an earlier review of your mac and cheese using shitake mushrooms and truffle butter by mistake.

"I have watched your show regarding this mac and cheese recipe numerous times and finally decided to try it when my local paper (St. Pete Times) ran it in their Food Section. I followed the recipe exactly and SORRY INA, it just has very little taste. I had guests over for dinner and they tried to be polite but I got it out of them that they simply felt it was bland. o you have any suggestions as to how I can add taste to this recipe. If not, I am tossing it.
