The Soul of Béchamel
There are sauces that behave like people. Some are impatient, boiling over with haste. Others are stubborn, resisting our attempts to tame them. And then there is béchamel… quiet, almost shy, but with a depth that reveals itself only to those who wait.
Before, I treated it as a formality: flour, butter, milk. A white curtain drawn over the layers of lasagna. But after following Chef Ignacio Barrios’ course, I discovered that every sauce has its own soul, its rhythm, and its patience. I began to understand that even the most modest sauce holds a secret.
Cooking béchamel became less about technique and more about listening. The gentle whisper of butter merging with flour, the slow, steady breath of milk folding into the roux. It taught me that nothing in the kitchen, not even the simplest act, is without meaning.
Now, when I prepare lasagna, I no longer rush. I let the béchamel speak in its own language of patience and transformation. And in that silence between whisk and simmer, I realize this sauce is not only part of the dish, it is the memory that holds everything together.

Lana, your words make béchamel feel like poetry in a saucepan. I could almost hear the soft whisking and see the sauce slowly transforming into that velvety, comforting layer. The way you describe it — not just as a technique, but as a conversation between cook and sauce — is beautiful. It’s a reminder that even the simplest ingredients, when treated with patience and care, can hold a story and a soul of their own.

Here’s our very own Emily Dickinson, turning béchamel into poetry 🥹✨
Your words are as silky as your sauce—there’s rhythm, patience, and reverence in every line. The way you describe listening to the butter and milk merge is pure magic. And the photos deserve a credit on themselves. Honest, warm, and full of soul.
P.S. Want a little twist? You know what béchamel is also perfect for? A sweet croquette… just saying 😉

@soldamiani Sometimes cooking does feel like writing poetry, only with flavors instead of ink. And as for the sweet croquette… let’s just say that chapter is still waiting for its redemption 😅.
