Technical Tips
- Other than béchamel being one of the major ingredients of the flavour as well as the creamy texture, its also one of the major ingredients that drive the calories up; its expected as its made with flour, milk and butter. Béchamel contributes to almost 15% of the calories in our Turkey & Spinach Lasagna for example, which is a fair chunk of the calories but also of the flavour.
- In our béchamel recipe and some others, the highest driver of the calories, is milk. Therefore, by using an alternative to milk or a combination of milks or liquids i.e. water, one can deduct some to lots of calories while maintaining the yummy flavour.
