ASOM (the Association for the Preservation of the Egg-Mayo) – a merry band of whimsical food lovers with an offbeat sens of humour – has wanted this book to educate, amuse, whet the appetite, and inspire cooking.
The first section covers the history of mayonnaise and the technical details of preparing the perfect egg-mayo, while the second presents recipes from chefs, ranging from the simplest to the most sophisticated.
A clean, minimalist layout showcases the text and its droll quotes, as well as the stunning photographs by Thomas Dhelemmes.
