Have you tried whisking in a bit of mayo when you make a vinaigrette? It’ll help stabilize the emulsion and make it creamier. I love a white balsamic vin or a poppyseed dressing with a bit of mayo whisked in! A “creamy” vin usually has some mayo in it. And Michal is correct about that 3:1 ratio of oil to acid. I’d… Read more

wow, that’s super creative! I’m impressed. The pictures are lovely too Read more

This is true! It takes too long for me though. I want the thickening to be near immediate so I blend first.  Read more

We did consider this idea. I’d seen some other restaurants on social media seem to do it successfully, but we couldn’t make it cost effective. The packaging materials, developing cooking instructions, and the time spent weighing out portions and preparing kits actually takes more time and money (labor cost) than… Read more
