Emulsions
Today we worked on emulsion sauces, hollandaise, beurre blanc, and we did a mayonnaise. I had a hard time with the hollandaise, I cant seem to grasp the concept of mixing the eggs over hot water, for how long, when to remove, etc. Made one scrambled egg, started over, made the sauce perfectly, but was just about to show Chef, placed on the hot water pan , and it immediately turned! I did finally get the last one right.
The mayonnaise we finished off with some cornichons, shallots, parsley, and more lemon. I took my home and mixed with a big can of tuna.
Written quiz, on Monday, then we will have time to practice for our Sauce practical. I'm hoping hollandaise isn't included!
Happy Friday! Great first week, I wish we had more time on sauces.
