Probably the most useful technique I’ve mastered in culinary school was cooking a really gosh-darn-good Bechamel sauce, one of the mother sauces.  In my line of work, it’s very much a foundational element in many of the recipes we make at Beecher’s and Pasta & Co., two brands within the Sugar Mountain family.

The Rouxbe Cooking School posted a really nice video about it, and in the spirit of welcoming the Fall,  I offer you this course as a teaser to get back into learning some new cooking techniques.

Enjoy!
