This week I learned how to make an aioli. An aioli is a
mayonnaise that has garlic in it. To make mayonnaise oil is emulsified with a
base of egg yolk, lemon juice, water, and mustard. The process making this
emulsification begins with whipping the egg yolk base and slowing incorporating
the oil. As the food processor incorporates the oil faster, the oil droplets
become smaller, causing the sauce to thicken. Because of the unique composition
mayonnaises, they have to be kept at specific temperatures to maintain their
consistency.
One unique food we made this week were star fruit sandwiches
with an herb spread. I thought it was a little bit weird, but star fruit are in
season, so why not?
