Wicklewood's All Too Easy All in One White Sauce
"I have always made my savoury sauces using the traditional roux method, and I always will because I am a traditionalist. HOWEVER, this method is so easy and so painless, and as long as you allow it to continue to cook for several mins after it thickens (to remove the raw flour taste) it tastes like you spent ages making a roux."

Overall for a quick white sauce good but have to admit I would rather take that little bit of extra time and make a roux and do it traditionally but biggest issue here was that I did follow the recipe exactly but ended up with a very thick custard consistency of sauce and added about another 1/2 cup milk to get it to a pouring consistency and then added cheese (for a cheese sauce) and put back on the heat to melt cheese and to heat up. The other thing I noticed was as the sauce cooled it was a lot quicker to set/thicken than the traditional sauce as it cooled. If you are in a hurry and want a quick fix and willing to add other flavours (eg or herbs or a bit of mustard) this is a good recipe to go with and would happily recommend.

<p>I have always loved my food (not just my own but anyone's who offered it to me),,, then five years ago I was diagnosed with ceoliacs disease and all notion of ever having my favorite foods again went out the window. However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.</p>
