Mayonnaise is one of the most popular sauces in the world. It has always been thought that this sauce was created in France in the middle of the 18th century, but more recently, it has been discovered that this sauce already appeared in some cookbooks on the island of Mallorca. This sauce created in Mallorca was a fusion between the mayonnaise we know today and the allioli, a Catalan sauce based on garlic and oil.The mayonnaise that we have today took many years to acquire popularity because at the beginning it was not very appreciated by the French who were not accustomed to preparations with so much oil.
Even being so popular, mayonnaise is one of those recipes that can be difficult to make at home. For this reason today I want to share my recipe to make always a perfect mayonnaise. This mayonnaise can be used in many different preparations.
