			<description><![CDATA[I just tried to make a classic bechamel for my lasagna and it came out with a weird, almost grainy texture instead of being perfectly smooth. I melted the butter, stirred in the flour for the roux until it was bubbly, and slowly added warm milk while whisking constantly, but it still happened. What did I do wrong?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I just tried to make a classic hollandaise sauce for my eggs benedict and it completely broke on me, turning into a greasy, curdled mess. I was whisking the egg yolks and lemon juice over the double boiler, then drizzled in the melted butter slowly like every recipe says, but it just never came together into that smooth, creamy emulsion. What's the trick to getting it right so it doesn't separate?]]></description>
