They keep making me make fish veloute in class, and it keeps smelling like a French whorehouse. Bechamel, though, I can get behind. Is there anything it can’t do?

When you mentioned porcini stock I thought that it’s gonna be quite expensive. Nice to know it comes in cube form.

LOL. Velamel! That’s GREAT. This looks divine. I love bechamel and it’s nice to know it can be made just a little lighter with mushroom broth. Great posting!

I had always heard that a mixture of velouté and béchamel was a sauce suprême, but looking it up just now, suprême is a chicken or veal velouté with (reduced) cream, and maybe mushroom stock, butter or egg yolks, depending on which authority you believe. So close, but not as simple as just mixing the two.

I love the combination, though, and using mushroom stock is making me drool!
