Homemade Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise is one of the 5 mother sauces in French cuisine, alongside bechamel, veloute or espagnole. It is an emulsion of egg, butter, and lemon juice, and it is one of the main ingredients in Eggs Benedict (one of our favorite brunch delights). Sure, it's not the easiest recipe, but if you master it, you'll have yourself a terrific new sauce recipe.

I guess I’ve always had a passion for cooking ever since I was a kid when I was mom’s little helper in the kitchen. Even though I wasn’t actually cooking, I was a picky eater, and I focused on bringing more flavor to her dishes, by adding extra herbs and spices I felt might enrich it. Time has passed, and I haven’t changed that much: I am now my girlfriend’s helper.
