Merry Mayonnaise R150 per person (Min. 5 people / Max. 10 people)

In this 3-hour hands-on class, we briefly look at the interesting history of mayonnaise; we learn how to make authentic, traditional standard and vegan mayonnaises (by hand only), and we look at many of their variations; we look at how we can use mayonnaise and we prepare various hors-d’oeuvres for the occasion. No one leaves the class until they know how to make mayonnaise from scratch. Making mayonnaise, a life-skill, only takes a few minutes to complete, whether on a camping trip (with no electricity), at home or at friends’ places, with always excellent results: a diverse sauce for cold starters and mains.
