Homemade mayonnaise

by | Jun 14, 2024 | Misc

Homemade mayonnaise is a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire, offering a fresh, creamy texture and customizable flavour that store-bought versions simply can’t match. Making your own mayonnaise allows you to control the ingredients and customize the flavor to your liking. You can enjoy the fresh, rich taste of your homemade condiment in sandwiches, salads, or as a base for other sauces and dressings.

Because homemade mayonnaise is made with raw eggs, it’s important to use fresh, high-quality eggs and consume the mayonnaise within 1-2 days to avoid any risk of foodborne illness. Once homemade mayonnaise has been prepared, transfer into a sterilised container and put in the fridge immediately. Mayonnaise has a two-hour rule. It’s recommended not leaving mayo out at room temperature for more than two hours before moving it back into the fridge.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
