Method

Make the mayonnaise first. In a ceramic bowl, beat the yolks with the mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy. Stir continuously, then add a little stream of the olive oil. Beat until amalgamated. Continue adding a little oil at a time, continually beating, until the volume of the egg has expanded and all the oil has been incorporated. Now add the lemon juice and mix well. Cover unt
