How to Pair Drink with Food

Step1

Pick up the book "What to Drink with What you Eat" and turn to the page with macaroni and cheese. Yes: this book has every type of food--even fast food--listed as a reference.

It will give you several options, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The book will show you have to pair with meatless macaroni and cheese and three cheese homemade mac.
