Vegan Bechamel

September is the start of not only school but cold weather. With that being said, who wouldn’t want a warm, gooey bechamel sauce to warm us up! This 5 minute dish is an easy staple when it comes to warm comfort food. Perfect for students exhausted from studying and on a budget!

We are so lucky to live in a province that has all 4 seasons. Why? BECAUSE we have different seasonal veggies! Today with the Bechamel sauce you can pair it with zucchini! Zucchini is a great September harvesting vegetable filled with Antioxidants and contributes to a healthy digestion 

Let us show you how Chef Flore has created this dish!
