Make a delicious Homemade Mayonnaise in just a few minutes using ingredients from your fridge and pantry. Tips for making mayonnaise by hand or with a food processor or electric whisk.

Homemade Mayonnaise

One recipe which is always handy to have up your sleeve is a Homemade Mayonnaise. While it is easy to buy a jar or tube of ready-made mayonnaise, there are times when it is best to have the real thing on hand.

For example, if a mayonnaise serves as a basis of a sauce or dressing for your dish – such as with my Scotch Eggs – making a mayonnaise from scratch will make the whole dish even more special.

Why This Recipe Works

Make a Homemade Mayonnaise with just a few ingredients from your fridge and pantry.
Adjust the mayonnaise to your liking, whether you like it tangy, salty or even with a touch of sweetness.
Use a food processor or an electric whisk for a foolproof mayonnaise.
Add other flavourings to your mayonnaise, such as fresh herbs.

My Carrot Cake

I had a friend coming around for afternoon tea today, and whilst my first instinct was to go out and pick up something from the local bakery, I decided instead to turn on the oven.

In running a quick mental analysis on which would require more physical and mental exertion, setting aside an hour or so to bake a cake was by far the easier option than a “quick” trip to the shops with a baby and toddler in tow.

Classic French Madeleines

Something which my children and I associate with our visits to France are homemade madeleines.

I have loved eating madeleines since I was a child, and even though I bake them quite regularly at home, my son associates madeleines with his 94 year old great-great-aunt, someone he sees only once or twice a year.
