It would be hard for me to say something is "too rich" though. I'm not sure I've ever said that about any dish. I'm just nuts about really rich food. I suppose the nice layer of fat around my belly is evidence of that. Claire is right! I think sometimes chefs use a lot of salt because so many of them are heavy smokers and just don't have good enough taste buds to know when something is seasoned properly. Looks delicious.

Ergo it is good for you. The way I see it, Béchamel has more milk than flour+butter. Ergo it is good for you.

The cauliflower and fennel sound really great together. This and a salad and I think you've got a meal ready to serve.

I agree with one of the commenters that said this dish could stand alone with a large glass of red zinfandel. Oh yum!
