Gordon Ramsay’s Mayonnaise is a classic French-style emulsion made by whisking egg yolks with mustard and slowly incorporating oil to create a smooth, creamy sauce. His version adds a touch of lemon juice and vinegar for extra brightness and a luxurious texture.

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
