Making real mayonnaise is quick and easy, and certainly tastes 100% nicer than the store-bought mayonnaise. This demonstration shows you how to make great mayonnaise in under 7 minutes using your food processor or hand mixer.
Ingredients
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 45ml White wine vinegar
  • 2.5ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 750ml Oil (sunflower or olive)
  • 5ml Kosher salt
  • 5ml Garlic powder
  • 5ml Mustard powder
  • (5ml salpeter - optional preservative)
Instructions
  1. Pour the egg yolks, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder into your food processor. You can also use a hand mixer, or even a blender.
  2. Process this for 2 minutes until completely combined and light and creamy.
  3. With the mixer still running, slowly drizzle in the oil in a very thin stream. The mayonnaise will start to combine and form almost immediately. Allow the mixer to run for 4 minutes until you have a very smooth, glossy and thick mayonnaise.
  4. Add the salt and garlic powder. If you are not using the mayonnaise within 7 days, it is advisable to add 5ml of saltpeter to the mixture as well. Saltpeter inhibits the growth of bacteria, and considering the mayonnaise contain raw egg, this is a good safety precaution.
  5. Turn the mixer back on and mix for a further 60 seconds.
  6. You will notice how well emulsified the mayonnaise is by the beater tails left In the surface of the sauce.
  7. Store the mayonnaise in sterilized jars in your refrigerator.
  8. Makes 850ml

This burger relish is absolutely outstanding. This is a close copy of the original Wimpy franchise burger relish, which is famous across the globe.
Ingredients
  • 150g Finely chopped onion
  • 15g Finely chopped garlic

Serves: 12
 
These amazingly soft and slightly sweet breakfast rolls (Petit Pains) are really easy to make and despite the slightly longer than usual rising times, are well worth the effort.
Ingredients
  • 1 Tsp Dried yeast
  • 280ml Warm milk
  • 450g Strong white flour
  • 10ml Salt
  • 15ml Caster sugar
  • 50g Softened butter
Instructions
  1. Add the yeast to the warm milk and whisk this thoroughly. Put this aside for 10 minutes to mature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and caster sugar.
  3. Add the softened butter and rub this into the flour mixture until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
  4. Make well in the center of the flour and pour in the milky yeast.
  5. Using a wooden paddle, mix this until a dough comes together, and it comes away from the sides of the bowl.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  7. Dust the dough with a little flour every time it becomes too sticky.
  8. Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover the bowl with cling-wrap and allow the dough to rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
  9. After 60 minutes, knock the dough back and remove it from the bowl.
  10. Using your scale, divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
  11. Working with a piece at a time, briefly knead the dough. Pull the edges of the dough up to the center of the ball.
  12. Turn the ball over. Cup your hand over the ball and rotate to make the ball perfectly round. Using one hand, roll the ball into an elongated oval shape.
  13. Transfer the roll to a lightly greased baking sheet and continue with the remaining rolls. Leave about an inch or 25mm of space between each roll.
  14. Cover the rolls with an upturned roasting tin and allow this to rise for a further 60 minutes in a warm place.
  15. After 60 minutes, the rolls will be well risen and will just be touching. As they bake they will support one another and rise upwards instead of sideways.
  16. Using a sharp knife, slash 3 cuts into the top of each roll and brush the rolls with milk.
  17. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 180c or 350f for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.
  18. Remove the rolls from the oven, separate them and allow them to cool on a wire rack.

Lasagna is a cornerstone meal in many households, however the cliche'd savory mince or chicken with tomato and white sauce can be extremely tedious on the tastebuds. This creamy cheese chicken lasagna will change the way you see lasagna forever!!!
Ingredients
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 120g Mature cheddar, shredded
  • 120g Parmesan, shredded
  • 800ml Chicken stock
  • 240ml Cultured sour cream
  • 60ml Tapioca or cornflour
For the Chicken Gravy
  • 400ml Chicken stock
  • 30ml Tapioca or cornflour
The Rest...
  • 600g Roasted chicken, skin on, roughly chopped
  • 500g Fresh lasagna sheet (or quick-cook dried)
Instructions
  1. To start, we are going to make a thin gravy for the chicken. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the tapioca or cornflour with a little water and add it to the cold chicken stock.
  2. Bring this to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 60 seconds until thickened. Remove the gravy from the heat and put this aside.
  3. For the creamy cheese sauce, heat the second batch of chicken stock over over medium heat. Mix the tapioca or cornflour with a little water and add this to the pot.
  4. Bring this to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 60 seconds until thickened. Remove the pot from the heat.
  5. Stir in the shredded mature cheddar and parmesan cheeses until melted and totally combined.
  6. Pour in the sour cream and stir this in until totally combined.
  7. Place the roughly chopped chicken in a mixing bowl and pour in the gravy. Stir this until combined.
  8. Lightly grease a medium size roasting pan and line the bottom with 2 slices of lasagna sheet. I am using freshly made lasagna sheet, but you can use quick cook dried pasta as well.
  9. Top the pasta with a layer of the chicken and gravy. This is the reason we made the gravy thin. The pasta will absorb 30 percent of the liquid from the gravy as it cooks and it will thicken as a result.
  10. Add another layer of pasta to the pan.
  11. Top this with a generous layer of the creamy cheese sauce.
  12. Top this with another layer of pasta.
  13. Then another layer of chicken and gravy.
  14. A final layer of pasta topped with another generous spread of creamy cheese sauce and you're almost done.
  15. Sprinkle a generous helping of mature cheddar over the surface.
  16. Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the cheese is crispy and well browned.
  17. Remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

  3. Add the frothy yeast to the bowl. Using a wooden paddle stir this into the dry ingredients until a dough comes together.

  5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it in half. Flatten one half and flour the outside if it is sticky. Pass it through your pasta roller on the widest setting. Fold it in half and pass it through again. Repeat this until the dough is silky smooth. Rub a little flour into the surface every time it becomes sticky.

  12. Remove from the oven and serve hot or cold with the dipping sauces of your choice. In our serving we have uses our creamy lambs liver pate.

  6. Flatten the roll slightly and trim the roll from the remaining pastry. Transfer the roll to a lightly greased baking sheet.
  7. Continue rolling the sausage rolls until all of the filling and pastry is used. Any off-cuts at the ends can be used sideways to make shorter rolls.
  8. Whisk a single egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the solution.
  9. Using a sharp thin blade knife, cut through the tops of the rolls. This helps moisture escape during baking ensuring that the inside of the dough is not wet and mushy. It also helps with portioning once baked. You should do this even you don't intend cutting the rolls into portions.
  10. Bake the sausage rolls in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f for 30 to 40 minutes until crisp and golden.
  11. Remove the rolls from the oven, cut them apart and serve immediately. The quantities in the recipe will yield 48 1 inch cocktail sausage rolls.
