We’re not sure when macaroni cheese became a thing called mac ‘n’ cheese among the cool crowd, but we do admire whomever was behind the rejuvenation of this humble dish. We’re also taken with Jamie Pagett, who has turned his passion for it into Redheads Mac ‘N’ Cheese, which has a weekly pitch at Newcastle’s Sunday Quayside Market. Jamie, who trained under Chris Eagle and Terry Laybourne at Porterhouse Butcher and Grill and at Saltwater Fish Company, says: “I lived in California as a child and got a real taste for it. That’s where I got my idea. I knew people would love it.”
