Not exactly foamy. I wanted it to still feel like mayo, so I added the mustard and lemon juice before whipping. A LOT of whipping, therefore, but still spreadable It tastes like mayo minus the heavy creaminess (which is fine in its place). It's an ethereal sort of taste, maybe like the difference between cake and angel food cake.

Thanks for your comment. I've never thought of making mayo with egg whites, but it definitely sounds interesting. I'm sure it's foamy, how about flavor?

Oops. I should say that the egg white mayonnaise compares to egg yolk mayonnaise as a souffle does to an omelet, not the other way around.

Because I was waiting for the boys to agree that it was bedtime and because I had egg whites with nothing to do, I made this with the whites instead of the yolk. I would be interested what others think -- the recipe being essentially the same. Perhaps there is a proper name for it as another sauce. It seems to me to compare to mayonnaise as an omelet compares to a souffle -- the fundamental taste

Good recipe! I had some tries years ago and it got crazy, so I try to avoid mayonnaise. But I`ll think of you and do it again!

Thanks so much for remembering Tessa!

Andras~
Bravo :)

Good point. I make my mayo always in the same mixing bowl, which is a heavy ceramic contraption, perhaps exactly for that reason. I never really thought why, but I always do, and it doesn't move :)

Oh, wow, and when you do... you'll never ever want to go back to Hellman's. Ever.

Hi, Eleonora, my Fav Italian Gal.
Read this with interest because I am used only to buying crap sold in jars commercially but I am pleased to say I have never, nor will I now I have read your post, bought Mayonnaise sold in a tube. I will have a good go at making the real deal from your recipe/ Thanks. Hugs ~ Eddie

I completely agree, homemade mayo is on a whole different level. The place I often run into trouble is actually pouring the oil in a steady stream while whisking - for me the bowl tends to move too much. I've found if you put a small sauce pan on the counter with a dish towel in it and the bowl on top, the handle of the saucepan will bump up against your side and stop the whole set up for
