Knowing how to make bechamel sauce can be a game-changer for your home cooked meals, and is actually essential for all great cooks. Béchamel is one of the five mother sauces of French cuisine – the other four being hollandaise, espagnole, tomat, and velouté – and is perfect in lasagne, or to make a creamy cauliflower gratin. It’s also delicious in tasty tuna croquettes, classic beef lasagne or a gooey gruyere souffle.
