Chef's Narrative

Knowing how to make a basic mayonnaise can expand your sauce skills as there are many variations limited only by your imagination.

Recipe Substitutions

To make aioli, add 1 minced garlic clove to egg mixture and substitute extra virgin olive oil for the vegetable oil. A combination of oils may be used, for instance half olive oil and half vegetable oil. If using olive oil, add the olive oil first to stabilize the emulsion, followed by the lighter oil.
