I tried your recipe for this mayonnaise today and it turned out amazing!!! I used red wine vinegar instead of white wine, and I’m not sure what difference it made but its delicious! I added chili powder and paprika to give it a kick.

@jorge:

If you really are a doctor, you would be aware of the fact that acid in lemon juice kills mold and bacteria. You also should have been up to speed regarding the latest studies that have shown that vinegar not only fights fungal infection. but it also has antibacterial properties.

I agree with the pasteurized eggs for pregnant women, though.

actually, the acid kills nothing, it’s a myth. Look up Salmonella, wich should be your primary concern. You could also get food poisoning from toxin-producing Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli from eating raw eggs. I sugges ALWALY buying the pasteurized kind. Especially when consumed by pregnant women. Trust me on this one, I’m a doctor

Just made this mayonnaise but I suggest to those who make it to use a mild oil. I just used fresh olive oil and it’s all I can taste! But, I’m using it for a potato salad tomorrow so it will work just fine. I don’t eat refined sugar so it’s great to be able to eat mayo again! Thanks so much for the recipe!

I tried a different recipe before this and boy, didn’t it fail. I thought i gave up until i saw your blog! I’d just (successfully!!) made it a few minutes so i had to thank you! It was a real tiring process but oh so fun to succeed :)

Thank you again!

ps: i might use a electric whisk the next time. it wouldn’t make much of a difference… would it?

Chocolatesa, one of the reasons I make this mayo every now and then is because it tastes a lot like Hellman’s and that’s a brand that’s hard to come by in the Netherlands. But oh boy, my forearms can barely take it :)

Next time I’ll try my immersion blender!

I made mayo by hand once… never again! lolll. It tasted almost exactly like Hellman’s brand that I buy, and doesn’t last as long in the fridge, and my right arm was useless for 2 days afterwards lol.

Ilona, leuk zijn die potten, he? Ik heb het toen eigenlijk voor de pot gekocht. Vond de mayo ook wel lekker, maar een beetje aan de zoete kant. Ik ben verslaafd aan Hellman’s! Het is wel flink watg werk voor een pot mayo, maar best leuk om te doen af en toe.

Grappig! Sinds mijn staafmixer kapot is (alle ingredienten in een kom en ‘vllloeeeep’!) ben ik lui geworden, en eet ik juist een zo’n pot Mijn Mayonaise per week op. Nou ja, samen met mijn lief. Maar enfin.
Misschien toch maar gewoon eens met een garde proberen.
