Mayonnaise: Jess Damuck & Hellmann’s Mayonnaise

When you think about that ingredient list, it's obvious why mayonnaise makes food taste better: it adds fat, salt, and acidity. Mayonnaise, colloquially known as "mayo", is an emulsion of oil, egg and lemon juice and/or vinegar, plus seasonings. Food stylist and writer Jess Damuck, author of "Salad Freak" shares here ode to mayonnaise and the secret ingredient in many of her salad dressings. Mayonnaise was a product made at home until Hellmann's Mayonnaise, one of the world’s most famous brands of mayonnaise, was founded and distributed to markets in the 1900s. Unilever Chef Brandon Collins sheds light on the history of mayo and why it's such a staple in recipes from tartar sauces to chicken marinades and turkey sandwiches to mexican corn recipes. <br /><br />Follow @jessdamuck @hellmannsmayonnaise @wherechefesshop @ingredientinsiders<br /><br />In partnership with The Chefs' Warehouse, a specialty food distributor that has been purveying high-quality artisan ingredients to chefs for over 30 years @wherechefsshop <a href="https://www.chefswarehouse.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.chefswarehouse.com/</a><br /><br />Produced by HayNow Media @haynowmedia <a href="http://haynowmedia.com" rel="noopener">http://haynowmedia.com</a>
