Recipe for mayonnaise in a siphon bottle
Mayonnaise can be a tricky affair to embark on, because you risk it separating during whisking – at least if you are not completely experienced.
However, there is so much to gain by making it yourself, as it tastes much better than the store-bought kind. By using a siphon bottle, you completely bypass the need for whisking. Here’s how you do it.
