Rashida Holmes' Macaroni And Cheese Pie
LA TimesA few key components differentiate the macaroni and cheese pie that chef Rashida Holmes serves at Bridgetown Roti, the vibrant Caribbean restaurant in East Hollywood that she owns with her mother, Joy Clarke-Holmes, and business partner Malique Smith, from the versions that are common on Thanksgiving dinner spreads. It’s not just the standard cheddar cheese that gives this macaroni and cheese its rustic golden hue but curry powder, which adds a welcome zing of spicy sweetness to the finished pie. In addition to standard cheddar and Jack cheeses, the five-cheese pie calls for pepper jack for heat, Gouda for creaminess and Parmesan for saltiness. No wonder the macaroni and cheese has quickly become one of Bridgetown Roti’s most popular dishes.
