What is the difference between white sauce and béchamel sauce?
Both sauces are made by sautéing equal amounts of butter and flour, then adding milk. Use salt, pepper, and consomme for seasoning. This simplest state is called béchamel sauce.
Béchamel sauce is a type of white sauce, but white sauces made with cheese or fresh cream are not called béchamel sauce.
For a long time, I couldn’t tell the difference between cream sauce and white sauce. Cream sauce is made by adding fresh cream to béchamel sauce, and these (cream sauce and béchamel sauce) are collectively called white sauce.
Béchamel sauce is the base for many different sauces. Américaine sauce is an orange sauce made from shrimp shells. Aurora sauce uses tomatoes.
