Mayonnaise

For Anton's first demonstration, he decided to prepare something simple, his homemade mayonnaise.  This is a really easy thing to prepare.  Please bear with our video quality, we'll work on providing a better product as we get used to it.  This mayonnaise is what is served at the restaurant.  In making the mayonnaise, you can always make your own adjustments for your own tastes.

Ingredients:
eggs (room temperature), garlic, garlic powder, sugar, salt, paprika, vinegar

PROJECT: Cooking with Anton

It's a honor and a privilege to receive an email from Anton (Fraser Park Restaurant) and be asked if we could provide some assistance to take pictures and videos for him as he would like to share his passion and experiences as a chef through demonstrations.  You see, Anton would like to share some of his recipes with the world and he would like to use the web as his vehicle to pass on his knowledge.

Anton believes that even though he may be giving away some "secrets", the demand for his food and his restaurant will still continue, and this we agree.  Ever since we started visiting Anton's Fraser Park Restaurant, we've had quick conversations with Anton, and we truly believe that he is passionate about his food, and most recently in meeting Sylvia, she is as well.

We'll work on providing what Anton would like to share.  We're not looking to prosper from this project, other than Anton's passion to share, and our passion to learn and to help post his demonstrations.  This is a win-win project for both.

When watching the demonstrations, please take note that Anton addresses his cooking for the restaurant, so in many ways the recipe may be simplified or some pre-cooking may have been done.  Anton's recipe's have been passed down from his mother, he has used her recipes and made it his own through changes in ingredients and cooking.  Anton hopes that you do the same and make it your own as well.
