You know that scene in "Ratatouille" where Anton is vividly transported to his childhood because of the ratatouille dish? I lived that same moment when I tried "Spring Mac" at Homeroom in Oakland, CA. After my first bite, I relived my childhood all over again: I was plucked from my seat and thrown amongst fields of pungent lemon trees and fragrant herbs. After all, who didn't roll around in aromatic scenery as a child? Anybody? <br /> <br />Homeroom specializes in mac n cheese, and I knew I had to try to recreate this dish after having it. With no recipe to start from, I only remember the dish had aged asiago cheese, fresh herbs, lemon, and peas. Mint and lemon were pronounced flavors in this dish that I can still taste the brightness lingering in my mouth. This dish works so well -- I'm so excited to share it with everybody! Mint, lemon, cheese, and peas are the bee's knees!
