A bechamel sauce is a basic white sauce, used as a base for other many other sauces. It is made by whisking a roux (a mixture of butter & flour, that looks a bit like playdough, combined & cooked in a saucepan) with milk. The more milk you add, the thinner the sauce. You can then add things like parsley for a sauce to go on fish, cheese for the topping for lasagne, or mustard, for example. Bechamel is really flexible, and you can play with what you add and experiement - for the basic recipe see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/bechamelsauce_70004.shtml Have fun!
