Mayonaise

When I was a kid my grandmother always use to make mayonaise. I really like the taste and it tastes a thousand times better than commercial one.

Ingredients:

- 2 egg yolkes

- 1 spoon of mustard

- 1 spoon of vinegar

- corn oil

- 1/2 lemon (juice)

- pepper

Put the egg yolk, mustard and vinegar together in a mixer. Mix them together on a slow speed. Add in the oil bit by bit and look how the mixture becomes mayonaise. To know when you've put enough oil to it is a personal taste.

Once I got the desired texture I add the lemon juice and mix it under the mayonaise and then as a final touch the pepper goes in.

Scampi with oil and herbs

Ingredients:

- Scampi

- Herbs de Provence

- Olive oil

- Lemon juice

- Garlic (fresh, no pouder)

Defrost the amount of scampi you need and fry them in some oil in a pan (with no pepper or salt). Remove the shell from the scampi and pour generously olive oil over it. Take your fresh garlic and crush it in a garlic press. Mix the crushed garlic underneath the in olive oil coated scampi.

Now comes the delicate part. Pour your herbs de Provence over it but don't add to much. You should have them herbs sticking to the scampi but you don't want a coating of herbs. Mix the herbs de Provence under the scampi/olive oil/garlic and finally to finish it off you add a squeeze of lemon to add freshness to it.
