The best soup in the world

This is inspired by a Rick Stein recipe that is absolutely lovely.

Bechemal for grown-ups. You don’t always want milk in your dinner unless you’re 1yrs old.

Velouté is based on a roux in the same way as Bechemal but you add stock, wine or something else instead of milk. The classic velouté is a “white stock”; not beef or lamb, so think fish, chicken or veg. The absolute classic is veal stock.

Fish on toast is the best thing in the world

Well, you know...but this is fabulous!
