What is bechamel?<\/h2>\n

Bechamel sauce is a rich, creamy white sauce made with flour, butter and milk or cream. The base of bechamel is a roux<\/a>, a simple combination of equal parts flour and fat. This simple mixture is kind of magical, forming a silky, thick base for everything from gravy to chowder and stews to cheese sauces. Roux is the base of almost all of the mother sauces<\/a>, five simple sauces that make up the basis of all French cooking (and of many other cuisines, too). Bechamel is one of the simplest of the mother sauces, a simple foundation for building a variety of flavors.<\/p>\n
