The only bad thing about making your own mayonnaise is wanting to eat it with everything it tastes so good!

Basic mayo
1 egg
½ tsp Dijon mustard
tablespoon white vinegar
pinch salt
pinch pepper
200 ml (approx.) Extra Virgin Olive oil

Traditionally we just just the yolk to use mayo but then what do we do with the whites? for home cooking I just use the whole egg and it works out fine! Whisk the eggs, mustard and vinegar together and while still whisking fast pour the oil in a slow drizzle until all combined and thick season with the salt and pepper. Or use a food processor or blender

In the thermomix put the egg, mustard, salt and pepper and vinegar in the bowl blend speed 4 slowly pour the oil in in a slow drizzle until thick, can pour onto the lid with the mc on and wiggle the mc up a little to make the slow stream.

Tartare add one tablespoon of each chopped gherkins, capers and lemon juice to mayo

Aioli add 2 blended cloves of garlic to the eggs and vinegar before starting, or whole garlic cloves in the thermomix at the start with the eggs

Caper balsamic substitute the white vinegar with balsamic vinegar and add 2 tablespoons of chopped cappers

Dill mayonnaise add 2 tablespoons of dill to the mayonnaise

Seafood sauce add 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and a few drops to your liking of tobasco sauce to the mayonnaise

Honey mustard mayonnaise (awesome with salmon or chicken!!) Add 2 tablespoons honey and an extra teaspoon of Dijon to the eggs and vinegar before adding the oil
