CLASSIC MAYONNAISE

WITH COOKED EGGS

Adding oil very slowly is essential for the mayonnaise emulsion – the hole in the pusher adds the oil at just the right speed. Flavored vinegar or fresh or dried herbs can be added for a flavored mayonnaise.

2 large egg yolks

2tablespoons wine vinegar or lemon juice

2tablespoons water

1teaspoon granulated sugar

1teaspoon dry mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

1cup flavorless vegetable oil

Have a shallow pan of ice water ready. In a small skillet, use a whisk to stir together the egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until completely blended. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles in 1 or 2 places – do not allow eggs to scramble. Remove from the heat and place in the ice water bath. Stir to cool down.

Insert the metal blade. Place the egg mixture in the work bowl. Cover and insert the pusher. Turn the machine on and add half the oil to the pusher, the oil will run through the pusher very slowly into the work bowl to create the emul- sion. When it has totally run through, add the remaining oil to the pusher. As the emulsion is made, the sound of the machine will become deeper. Transfer mayonnaise to a container, cover and chill until ready to use. Will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Makes 1-1/4 cups mayonnaise.

CLASSIC VINIAGRETTE

Igarlic clove, peeled 1-1/2 cups (360ml) oil

1/2 cup (120ml) red-wine vinegar

2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Insert metal blade and turn on machine. Drop garlic through feed tube and process for 10 seconds. Add all remaining ingredients through feed tube while machine is running and continue processing until mixed, about 20 seconds.

Makes 2 cups (480ml).

*You may use all vegetable oil or a combination of vegetable oil and olive oil, to your taste.

PEANUT BUTTER

Process up to 2 cups of peanuts* at a time. Let machine run continuously – sometimes as long as 2 minutes – until ground nuts form a ball.

Continue processing until ball flattens out. Scrape bowl. Continue processing until peanut oil drops appear on surface, or to desired smoothness. The longer you process, the softer the butter will be. Long processing heats it and makes it pourable. It will firm up as soon as it cools.

For chunk-style peanut butter, add a handful of nuts through the feed tube just before you stop processing.

*We recommend salted cocktail peanuts. You may also use dry roasted peanuts.

CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Make 1-1/2 cups (360ml) of delicious chocolate sauce in 1 minute!

8squares (8 ounces, 225g) semi-sweet chocolate, broken in half

1/4 cup sugar (1-3/4 ounces, 50g)

2/3 cup (160ml) boiling water

Insert metal blade. Add chocolate and sugar and pulse-chop until coarsely chopped, about 6 pulses. Then process continuously until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. With
