Coast Cooking: Let me count the ways to mayonnaise

    ORDER REPRINT →

July 13, 2015 10:17 AM

You are going to think me mad, but all this week we are going to talk about mayonnaise. In the South we think about it as a condiment, but it is in fact a sauce that is served cold.

The French love it, as do the Italians, and, you might be surprised to know, there are dozens and dozens of recipes for it. So why do our grocery stores have at best only two varieties, plan and made with olive oil? Go figure.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion sauce. That means an egg yolk is required to make liquids, like lemon juice, wine, and vinegar, that normally will not hold hands, mix smoothly together. It is a bit of a laborious task, and there is a learning curve, but once you overcome it, you will never go back to store bought.

At first we will discuss recipes using store-bought mayo as a base, but later in the week we will get to the homemade variety.
