    Mayonnaise
  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the egg, lemon juice, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together, slowly add the oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, then increase the amount as you go as the egg and oil will become more emulsified and allow you to add more frequently.
  3. Adjust the consistency with some warm water and add extra salt and pepper as required.
  4. Vinaigrette
  5. In a small jar combine everything except the oil, shake to combine.
  6. Add a few tablespoons olive oil and shake again to emulsify.
  7. Continue adding the oil until all has been added, check the taste for salt and pepper or if you need to add a pinch of sugar to balance the vinegar flavour.
