Chefs Tips

  • The best advice for great vegan béchamel is to keep stirring. It’s a fast sauce to make and you really want to cook the flour and incorporate the roux so you have a smooth, creamy, and thick sauce.
  • You can make different flavors for your sauce. The base béchamel is the perfect vehicle for adding flavors. I added mushroom powder for the vegan eggplant parm. You can add lemon or garlic and so much more.
