Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines: Season 3, Episode 5

Our table is big on comfort. Nothing here is overly impressive or complex. But who gathers around that table is what I’m really most grateful for—and every moment together is made richer by the food that brings us there.

Do you like happiness? If you don’t, then this recipe isn’t for you. But if you do, then let’s make my macaroni and cheese together. This is the dish that put me on the map. It’s the one everyone talks about and the one that every person who comes over for dinner begs me to make. And the beauty is, it’s so simple. You’ll have friends begging you for this recipe.

Macaroni and Cheese

This is an indoor adaptation of Italy’s famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina, which is traditionally cooked over live fire until very rare and seasoned with nothing else than coarse salt. When in Florence, seek out the original—which I was fortunate enough to experience with my parents and sister many years ago. The steak we were served was presented with a few rosemary sprigs on the platter, which I’ve used to make a dry rub for this version, along with lemony shallots and salty anchovies for doctoring each bite. Slow-roasting before browning is a method called “reverse sear,” and it’s excellent for thick cuts and big roasts because it allows the meat to climb gently to an optimal, even medium-rare, before quickly taking on color in a hot skillet. If you’re going to splurge on a big beautiful cut of meat, you really don’t want to overcook it!

Making a pan of focaccia is one of quickest ways there is to get fresh bread on the table. And with a little creativity, your loaf can also be pretty enough to serve as a centerpiece. Once my dough has risen, and I’ve rolled it out and patted it out into a pan, I use edible flowers, vegetables, and herbs to make a kind of nature-inspired mosaic on the surface that bakes into a beautiful, flavorful topping.
