The new episode of A Queen In the Kitchen is now up!
Watch me preparing Besciamella (Béchamel Sauce), the white sauce made from a roux of butter, flour and milk. Even though it is considered a French sauce, it first appeared in Italian cookbooks. It is said that was invented by Marquis Louis de Bechamel (1603–1703), a 17th century financier who held the honorary post of chief steward of King Louis XIV’s (1643-1715) household.
Besciamella is the key ingredient of many Italian dishes : Lasagne, Cannelloni, Crespelle, Vegetables au gratin, Paste Pasticciate…

Very interesting! Your technique—turning off the heat before adding the flour and then the milk— is a new one for me. It seems to work brilliantly. Can’t wait to try it out.
Thank you Frank! Give it a try and let me know 😉
