She adds cream cheese to the mashed potatoes, along with a generous amount of butter, plus a touch of milk and cream.

One of the mother sauces of French cuisine, béchamel is a true classic. This simple white sauce made with milk, butter, and flour is the basis of other sauces and used in many recipes, like our Lasagna Bolognese.

Another tip: whisking constantly while adding flour, then milk, prevents lumps from forming.

Our mint jelly recipe starts with lots of fresh mint, sugar, and a little lemon juice. Pectin is added to ensure the jelly sets firm. Food coloring provides the verdant shade of green, but you can skip this ingredient for a more golden hue.
