I haven't update my blog for a while because I have been busy doing some research on the French-speaking internet about ecology, I want to learn how to make my cosmetics with natural and organic products.

After reading Crystal's post about making laundry soap, I also did research to make my own with the products I find here in France, I have found very interesting things, I hope I'll be able to try soon

Now Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mayonnaise !!

This recipe seems to be very simple, but it's not

There's a knack to it !

In France, I think everybody knows how to do the mayonnaise, it's something we learn to do very early from our parents...

Of course, you can find convenience ready-made mayonnaise in grocery stores, but most people prefer doing it from scratch, the taste is really better and it's not good to eat mayo to often because it's really full of fat

What you need:

- One egg yolk

- A teaspoon of mustard (in France, we use mustard of Dijon)

- Oil, I use sunflowerseed oil, but use the one you prefer

- salt & pepper

First, put the egg yolk in a bowl

Add a full tsp of mustard

The hardest part is beginning now, start to pour the oil very slowly with the bottle on the left hand. With your right hand whisk on the quickest speed of your electric mixer, (the ones with very strong muscles can do it with a fork...) As I'm left-handed, I do it upside down...

Stop pouring oil and whisking when it has thicken enough, it doesn't take more than a few minutes.

Then you can taste and add salt & pepper as you like it.

Put it in the fridge and don't forget to eat it quickly (within a day), because it contains raw egg.

Voilà !
