I have to admit it. I adore Michael Ruhlman. His book The Making of a Chef is wonderful, as are his blog and, the book I’m reading now, The Soul of a Chef. A couple of months ago he posted some photos and a recipe for mayonnaise on his blog. I filed it in the back of my head and promised myself to try it some time. Today was that day. It was more whisking than I’m used to but the work and sweat (it was hot today!) were worth it. I’m going to try the “food blogger” approach to things here so I took pictures as I went.
