I made this last night, and the only difficulty I had with it was getting the milk and flour to thicken while stirring it into the vegetables. I found it far more effective to stir it separately over a low heat and then add to the vegetables after it reached the proper consistency. Also, I added a pinch of nutmeg and 2 dried bay leaves to the milk, bechamel style, which was delicious! (just be sure to remove the bay leaves from the sauce before serving) Thank you for sharing this!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
