Schuman Wins Mac N' Cheese Contest

On Sunday, March 3 Ira Schuman won best “Overall” in a Mac N" Cheese Bake Off sponsored by Angel Food East a not-for-profit organization in Kingston, New York.

This was the first time Schuman entered the contest and he took the award in a field of 30 other contestants including professional chefs and restaurants.

Ira was working from a recipe created by his wife, Assemblymember Amy Paulin, which he modified slightly. It was the first time he entered.

Paulin says, “Ira loves to cook and it occasionally comes out good.”
