Alas ... this recipe did not work out for me at all :( It's probably my own fault. I'm not exactly sure what texture this was suppose to be or what to serve with it. As soon as I added the cream to the flour/butter mixture, it clumped. I kept stirring, hoping it would get better and it did, until I added the cheese...it clumped again. I tried to make due by toasting it on some french bread, but it was too far gone. The recipe sounds so delicious and I love Roquefort cheese, I'd better practice up on my "roux making" skills. Sorry :(
