I remember during the 70’s on any given day, we had 3 channels to choose from, I would watch this with my mom. I miss them both❤️

The opening scene is so hysterical and fun. Julia Child at her absolute best at creating the whole genre of the entertaining food show. Thanks, Julia!

​@@lauren6889 Talking about beating the living daylights out of the egg yolks and getting them to do what you want them to do was hysterical to me

I love that these are on YT now. Priceless.

I watched this show when it first aired in the 70's. I have been making mayonnaise since that day. I just got my first blender and this show was a revelation. So many things I learned about cooking came from her show. She was a treasure.

Such a merry voice and personality

I use my handheld Immersion Blender and make it right in the Jar

This rekindles my love for Julia even-though she left us almost 20 years ago.

I wish the volume of these were up with the KZread ads. Love having my ears blasted.

And legend has it she is still beating it up today....

I laughed out loud at her slurping up the mayo in opening with a noise 😂😂😂😂

didn't know the mixer was so cute back then😂 ❤️love you, Julia, you were the one in the million

Mustard acts as an emulsifier just like it does in homemade salad dressing. I have to say I have always enjoyed her shows even when I was very little. I cook all the time and finally decided to buy Mastering the Art of French Cooking to put into my collection and I have no idea why it took me so long. I had to laugh to myself when I saw that I had been cooking fresh green beans by the French Method for years just because I thought it worked and came up with that on my own. It's been a pleasure reading through it. It's there on the shelf with The Joy of Cooking, 3 different editions of The Betty Crocker Cookbook (recipes change over time) a mixer of various cuisine-based books such as Mexican or Italian, a first edition of Vincent Price's Treasury of Great Recipes and 4 or 5 binders of recipes I have collected from all over for many years. All except Vincent Price's book have notations in the columns for substitutions and measurement changes, cooking information not listed or helpful, and referrals to other books and recipes for the perfect sauces and side dishes. I'll refer to her books it time and time again as I do with the other books as I come up with my own versions of recipes.

I know why....... In the US now they pasteurise and wash eggs so they cant stay out of the fridge. When Julia made this recipe that was not the case and eggs were left at room temperature. So the answer to your question is: the eggs NEED to be at room temperature to make mayonnaise. Try it and let me know!"😊

I love mayonnaise, and I love you Julia. Thank you.

Any time I have tried to make mayonnaise it's been a big fail. Maybe now I can. She's wonderful and makes me smile.

I 💕 ve this so much. ❤❤ My Mom had me making mayonnaise from a young age. Never tried using more than 2 yolks with whisk. Older now and have the beautiful hand mixer/burr mixer. Same on the lemon juice and white wine vinegar combo though. ❤😊❤ And the oil was always a combo of veg oil and grape seed oil. Sometimes walnut oil. I love her phrase "egg yolks have a curious digestion" That so made me smile. Ok, and we always used Dijon mustard, not mustard powder. 😊❤😊❤❤ I ADORE HER AND THIS ❤😊 Smaller batches, no more than 6 days in the fridge.😊❤😊

Mixing mayonnaise with roux gives a wonderful sauce.

You can pasteurize your egg yolks in the microwave before emulsifying with oil. It will last as long as store bought. There are videos showing you how to do it.

I'm kind of surprised it took her until the sixth season to do this topic.

When was the episode originally broadcast?

Sooo much fun and good food .

I only use homemade mayonnaise. I've been making my own for over 10 years now and I always make mine using a hand held blender. You just put everything together and start mixing, it literally takes just 15-20 seconds.

I made the blender version today....Easy and tasty.

She' s awesome!

Will never make this, but love to watch her!

Interesting and disturbing that jarred mayo lasts forever, but homemade, infinitely better, must be used quickly. Then made again. Or the next thing. And and so it goes. Life lessons here I believe. Thank you again and again Julia.

The "Joy of cooking" blender mayonnaise recipe easily keeps 2 weeks or more in the fridge as it has enough plain white vinegar or white wine vinegar in it to chemically cook the egg. It's all about the acid. I've been making it that way since the early 90s and have never had it go bad. Modern food science says leave the fresh covered mayo at room temp for an hour before refrigeration to give the vinegar time to act. They didn't understand that in Julia's day. Pro tip: the first quarter cup, use evoo, then switch to peanut oil for the final one cup for excellent all purpose flavor. NO soybean oil, yuck.

​​@@uptoolate2793 The Joy of Cooking blender mayo calls for three tablespoons of lemon juice, not vinegar. I guess they are interchangeable. Sometimes I use both vinegar and lemon juice for cole slaw dressing.

I respect those of you who use the whisk ... but I have not and will not use anything but a motor to make mine. It's quite delicious, and I've made gallons of it.

Now a days many add sour cream like in tartor sauce yall ..horse reddish too helps

There are ways to gently temper your egg yolks so that the mayonnaise will keep longer....it is done to the egg yolks after their first beating. I haven't found a great video on this. Anyone else?

"The Joy of Cooking" blender mayonnaise recipe uses 3 tablespoons of plain vinegar. The acid chemically cooks the egg. Keeps for more than 2 weeks, no problem. I've kept it for almost a month that way. 30 years practice at this point.

One issue with homemade is that it doesn't keep very long, so you have to keep making it and know when to throw it out.

They've been frightened into this mindset, unfortunately.

I have made mayonnaise years ago in a blender. But since then, there has been a lot of advice to never use unpasteurized eggs in recipes where the eggs are raw, such as mayonnaise or mousse. Are the commenters here pasteurizing their yolks or using raw yolks? Also, is the trend to pasteurize eggs before using them in recipes a genuine concern or overblown?

Try with egg substitute, which is similar to using the whole eggs. They are pasteurized, and behave the same. I whip them until they are pale and golden, add the acid, and go.

Adding mustard (possibly including mustard seed as well) to the mayonnaise mixture introduces natural isothiocyanates which have an antibacterial property that makes the mayonnaise safer to eat, despite the egg yolks being raw. Other ingredients with this compound besides mustards are horseradish, wasabi, and members of the Brassicaceae family of plants (brussels sprouts). Also the salt, lemon juice, wine or vinegar add to the antibacterial effect.
