I tried making homemade mayo last night, two times, since the first batch (and then the second batch) both did not work!!! Very frustrating. (the recipe was from another site). I added the oil very very slowly while beating with my hand-held electric wire whisk. I even tried to “rescue” it by starting over with another yolk and then adding the oily mess one spoonful at a time to get it started again. To no avail. I used grapeseed oil. I’m going to try the blender, but can’t believe how hard this is. Any tips, suggestions. I need to figure this out as pretty much everything in store-bought mayo is “out” for me on my new very restricted eating plan from my naturopath (trying to figure out some allergy issues). Thanks.

Oooh how I love homemade mayo! It’s so much more delicious and so much better for you than the store-bought varieties!

Thanks for this post!

Thanks for stopping by. The more I think about it, I think it’s the natural tasting flavor that I like about kewpie mayo. Most of the big brand mayonnaise has that synthetic tang with an odd sweetness to it.

Looking forward to exploring more on your blog. I love all the Asian influenced recipes and tid-bits.

What a helpful entry! I wonder what you can add to give it a Japanese kewpie mayo twist?

Thanks for visiting! I love your blog name :)

@CobraKai – I have to admit, you and Fumi are absolutely right, Kewpie mayonnaise is delicious.

@Robin – so fluffy yet so creamy and oh so good!

@Heidi – It’s just too bad my basil plant is done for the year…

Mayo lovers represent! Adding garlic and fresh basil to the mix always peps up an italian sandwich as well!

@Jude – Now all I need is a good bread to go with my sandwich!

@domino Never tried Béarnaise sauce but sure have plenty of fresh tarragon if you need some.

I HATE mayonnaise from a jar! Just the smell of it is enough to loose my appetite. But when its made fresh, especially with some other interesting flavors (herbs, garlic, curry, etc) I can get down with it.

Whats next WB? Have some left over tarragon for Béarnaise?
