The Sauce chef at work...

Butter and rye flour in equal quantities, grated parmesan, and 300 ml of semi-skimmed milk should do it, with plenty of chopped fresh parsley. Cod in sesame seeds ginger and garlic, french beans, leeks and mushrooms in a mild peppercorn sauce, and Ratte new potatoes, should keep the guests from starvation. Summer fruits and icecream, and biscuits and cheese, all seem relatively stress-free for the kitchen staff (me, tonight!)
