Good Stuff Sauce By Top Chef Spike Mendelsohn Food

HOMEMADE BASIC MAYONNAISE TOP CHEF SPIKE MENDELSOHN

Steps:

• Add the eggs, mustard, vinegar, and salt to a food processor or blender. Process for 30 seconds in the food processor, or for 10 seconds in the blender. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil slowly at first, then add in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is added and the mixture is smooth. Stop the motor and taste.
• If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little hot water. If too thin, process a little longer. The mayonnaise can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

BAKLAVA COOKIES GOOD STUFF BY TOP CHEF SPIKE MENDELSOHN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• To make cookies, in a bowl, mix together flour, walnuts, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a second bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Slowly blend in the flour nut-mixture.
• Using your hands, form small, round dough balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets. Gently press down in the balls to slightly flatten each cookie.
• To make the glaze, heat the honey, butter, vanilla, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a large saucepan over low heat until syrupy. Set aside until ready to use.
• Bake the cookies for 10 minute or until golden. Remove from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the cookies. Let stand on the sheets until cooled completely.
