Oh, I enjoyed reading this recipe! When attending culinary school years ago, I asked my chef if Bechamel could be made with cornstarch, in a pinch. I thought he was going to have a conniption! I will definitely make this recipe, as I adore mushrooms, but also, I want to finally try a milk-based sauce that defies the “wisdom” of that chef. Thanks for the memory jog, the recipe, and the laughter!
