Idk what is it about Lish's personality but I really like her approach and enthusiasm and I love when you guys do a video with her.
I totally agree! So happy to see her featured in a video again 😊
I am the opposite. She is my least favorite chef. She seems very designed. A cultivated presentation/personality. She does not seem, for lack of a better word, authentic.
🤢🤮 lol no
she's fun and adorable 😊
I totally agree she is so sweet and like you’re learning from a good friend. I love how she makes me feel like I’m a pro!
"Hello lover" as she spreads the crunchy topping and cheese on the dish made my day! I love the sheer joy Chef Lish is expressing throughout this video, hope to see more of her on the channel!
Find someone to date that talks to you when they see you the way Lish talks about putting breadcrumbs on mac n cheese
The crunch ruins it
I love the chef's enthusiasm for the dish she's making, and really helps the dish looking amazingly delicious as well
She's done food styling for magazines and commercials. Look up the video where she breaks it all down. It's quite interesting.
@@TheMrCC21 I have done a great deal of research on this woman and my findings suggest she is in fact quite interesting.
She called the mac and cheese, "lover." 😍
“Thicken, sexy, and begging for cheese.” This will 100% be on my headstone, thanks Lish!

I would absolutely love this to be on my gravestone, it really encapsulates my life in one sweet sentence. I'm looking forward to dying now.
I'm just begging for more Lish!
Lish takes it from "made with love" to "makin love" with this dish. Ultimate food foreplay here 😆
I never knew about food kink?! 🙃🤣
Well, it's already all over the comments, but I'm gonna say it anyway - chef Lish is probably the single best addition to the channel! Her love for the ingredients and pure joy of cooking is so infectious. Really gives me the inspiration to be the best home cook I can be!
I can't believe I just discovered her. Love her!
She’s fantastic !! I love how she points out how to know when something is done and how she knows the reason behind each element of the recipe. Love her personality !!
You can tell from the way she's so enthusiastic about the food and the way she describes the food and the ingredients, you can tell not only does she love what she does but she enjoys eating food. I loved her since the first video I saw with her! Bring more Chef Lish! (I want her to cook for me xD)
"This is not for the faint of heart..." I think it's for the people who love good food! The recipe is similar to one I use and it looks delicious. Lish looks like she's having a great time making this. More videos from her please!
More Lish videos, please! She is just terrific and explains everything very well!
Omg!! Chef, i worked for you at Giada at The Cromwell.. you are an incredible chef💐💐🥰🙏
I really like how to break the dish down to "chapters" to talk people through the different parts of the dish.
Really nice way to do this type of video, thanks!
i loved the way she explained everything, lovely tones to her voice, soothing and not rushing. loved the mac and cheese dish, got all ingred, cooking for myself for supper. i def want to watch her do other dishes. im in a a village in england and just found this site.😀
She's great! I'll be keeping my eye out for more recipes from her.
I was wanting to see more of this professional chef after her french toast, cookies, and roast chicken recipes in the home cook and chef switch ingredients!
Yet another fan of Lish here! Hope to see more of her from this channel.
I love this Chef and her teachings. Great job.
I really enjoy her presence! She’s awesome!
My sincere compliments to the team that created this video. Not only is the food preparation presented professionally, but the technical aspects of the video production are outstanding.
Chef Lish is awesome! The dish looks so delicious
Very much enjoyed the video. Chef Lish and her enthusiasm are a see lovely way to wind up the day!
Love the video and the amazing enthusiasm and joy Alisha brings to her cooking.
Personally imho, I would like it with a bit more runny sauce at the end
Amazing recipe! Thank you for sharing this my family is going to love this!
Lish is so lovely!! Please make more beautiful videos - this recipe has revolutionized our classic movie dinner night. Thank you.
since I'm not seeing a link to a full recipe, any idea how much cheddar and gruyere goes in this dish? All the other ingredients are pretty much provided in the video.
I can't wait to try this recipe. I've been searching for a perfect mac and cheese recipe for a long time and this is it.
I might go for cavatappi instead of elbow. It just holds onto sauce amazingly well, and gives a bit more noodly bite. also if cut out the breadcrumbs for more crispy cheese instead on top.
i love cavatappi in my mac! imo it needs to be the default for mac n cheese recipes, it’s so good
Good tip, thanks.
This lady's energy is addicting!
Lish! Always love seeing her in these videos.
We need more chef lish!
I usually use Muenster, but I'll see how Gruyere works next time! I also like a splash of fresh parsley on top of mine after it's all done baking.
Going to make it sometime! I love chef's bright, cheerful personality :) and dish sounds delish
I just want to say that I’ve made this macaroni about ten times and it’s blown out every possible dish in its vicinity. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 🥹
Amazing! Soothing voice, warm personality, and damn good looking dish, PERFECT 😙👌🏼❤️
I just live this chef's energy! 😊
Fantastic video of a fantastic dish, presented by a fantastic teacher. Very, very much obliged!
What an awesome teacher she is! Well done chef
Made this tonight adding imitation crab and substituting smoked gouda instead of greyere. It was fantastic, great recipe!
The perfect classic macaroni and cheese with crunchy topping. My only personal addition is a little white pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. sometimes I prefer jalapeño flakes over Cayenne pepper, but any spicy pepper you love will be perfect like a great Turkish Maras chili flake for some smokiness or an Aleppo chili flake for its brightness. Love your videos.
More videos with Chef Lish!!! This was great! So fun 😀
Thank you chef looks amazing and I'm going to give it a try thanks for sharing
Wow loved your presentation. Can't wait to try and make your version.
Your recipe is amazing thanks for sharing!!
The oven baking really is what takes it above and beyond. I always miss it since I don't have an oven in my apartment so I end it after the pot is done. I haven't tried onions though so I'll have to use those next time.
can we have 100% chef lish all of the time for everything please? ❤
Oh my, that looks perfect for a chilly autumn night.
Looks delicious. Thank you.
This is how I make my Mac! I love it, but I’m definitely going to try the parm and oil in my next panco top layer, that sounds bomb af
Throw in a lil garlic and parsley next time too if you like garlic for a little kick of freshness! A local restaurant does that on theirs and it's all good!
I like her since of humor when she explains things😊
I usually add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard to my cheese sauce. I like the slight tangy bite it makes.
Same! She used cayenne but I'm definitely sticking to dijon in my cheese sauce, it's the best 👌
YES!
She did a fantastic job. Love her style
perfect. it looks amazing
Looks so good. I love lots of sauce. I like to cook my pasta in the milk and add the cooked butter, flour, onion to it. The pasta thickens the milk then I add the cheese. I have taken to cooking pasta in the sauce really makes a difference.
this sounds so yummy, i need to try cooking the pasta in the sauce!
OMG, this looks and sounds delish. Thanx!!!!
hello. congratulations to the whole team for producing these excellent videos. One question, could you share the camera and lenses you use? Thank you!
Thanks!! Great recipe
I made a 4 cheese Mac n cheese this week that my friends fought who got the last bite 😆😆😆 it really was the best 1 I have ever made! That little bit of smoked Gouda was amazing!!!
Love videos with lish ❤
My new fav chef. Fantastic.
Omg…..I love mac&cheese…….❤️ Great video!
"Hello lover!" Lol. Made with love, and it shows, and tastes, I'm sure.
I love watching your video idea's 💓chef Lish 💓and what recipes u choose to share with us 🙌 you are so awesome and talented at what you do 💜💙🩷 I am a new following fan of yours 🥰 You make everything look so beautiful, delicious, and incredibly easy🥰 🙌 ❤️ 🫶 🥰 Thank you for sharing your time with everyone 😊 XOXO
I loved it when she won Chopped. Still my favourite episode ever👏✌️🇨🇦
Great personality when cooking !!!!😊😊
I use crushed browned Ritz crackers for my breadcrumbs. Haven't added onions to my béchamel, but it's worth a try.
Ooh, that's a good idea!
@@thembill8246 Good Idea and onions take it up a notch if you like them.
I’m used to this. In the Caribbean we make “macaroni pies” which is just a firmer macaroni and cheese. Onions are a must! (Along with other peppers) Super good.
This looks so good. I will definitely try it. Do you think mustard powder instead of cayenne as my grandson doesn't like hot spice?
Love Chef Lish!!!! The crunchy topping is going on my next attempt at Mac and Cheese. I did get distracted by her shirt. Paint swatches? Fabric swatches? Designed to tease?
Dang girl! I really enjoyed the video. I can't wait to try it. : D
Amazing presentation! I'm hungry😳
I followed a NYT recipe that was almost exactly the same as this (I used butter instead of olive oil for the breadcrumb topping and garlic in the roux) and it was amazing.
Which nyt recipe are you referring to??
Still will never beat 💯 old fashioned, down south, baked Mac and cheese with the crusty crunchy corners and top. No breadcrumbs necessary. 🤤😂
Do you have a proven recipe you’d be open to sharing??
She loves what she does by the way she carries herself when cooking.
LOVE THE RECIPE 💖
I love kraft sharp chedder cheese box mac and cheese with mozzarella cheese mixed in the most and idc who judges me for it! Maybe some breadcrumbs on top. Best thing to eat when you just want something fast and good and if you can handle dairy pretty well. Get home tired, make this, and my stomach is happy. If we're talking for an event or etc then yea baked macaroni is good. I'm just saying the best mac and cheese I've had xD
This fellow’s recipe looks great!
The only thing I would add is a touch of nutmeg to the bechamel and freshly cracked pepper in the crumb. Also a bit of chopped parsley on top for a little bit of contrast. :) otherwise a truly beautiful Mac and cheese. Sincerely, a foodie Texan mama. 😋
Love Chef Lish!! 🥰🧀😘😋
Love your video! Your written recipe please.
As a Wisconsite myself, I approve of this recipe. Definitely going to try this.
As a Chinese woman scientist and author of book 'Women scientists in the Qing Dynasty'
I also approve of this recipe and will try within the next few days.
Loooooove some mac n cheese.
Ironic that I planned to make some for dinner tonight
Perfection. My mom would do almost exactly this and add sliced tomatoes on top with breadcrumbs on top then bake.
Where has this lady been hiding, more of her, please & yes, the dish I will make, good for you Chef!
I made this recipe after watching this video and having my mouth water.
On the bright side, while it is hot it is absolutely delicious. The onion really adds savoriness. The combination of textures is awesome and it is full of cheesy goodness.
However, this is a dish that should be good when cooled and hardened too. And unfortunately after it cools the onion taste is overwhelming.
I make this all the time its so so good!!
@@britneyzzshadow1716 where's the recipe? Like how many cups of cheeses?
@@wrestlingexcellence2590 I just follow the video and just eye ball it
Now this is a good one. 😋
Welcome back Chef Lish!
Ok idk if its just me but she was mesmerizing to watch. Definitely great mac and cheese
Wow what an amazing personality,
Looks like a keeper. 👍👍
This looks absolutely De-Lish!
I love this new chef.
perfect!!
It’s always nice to find a new healthy recipe 😏
Is there a way to get a printed copy of the recipe? Would like to know the amounts of Chedder, Gruyere, cayenne pepper, panko.
She is wonderful!!
Haha, “hello lover”. Love it.
She’s a fellow Wisconsinian! I knew it was something about her. Shoutout from Milwaukee ❤️
I see Chef Lish, I click.
Love her!! Wisconsin girl!!!! 😊
That is a beautiful cross section at the end
When she said, "Hello, Lover" to that Mac n cheese the way she did, I felt a kinship as I've never known before.
I love this girl and her Mac and cheese!
