Sauces to Enjoy with Bourguignonne Fondue

Make 1/2 liter of homemade mayonnaise and use it as a base for these sauces that work well with a Bourguignonne Fondue. Here's how to do so:

Ingredients: 

• 4 large eggs 
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup olive oil
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Seperate the egg whites from the yolks, leaving the yolks in the bowl. 
2. Pour the lemon juice into the bowl with the yolks and whisk. 
3. While constantly whisking, pour in the oil a drop at a time. The mayonnaise should begin to thicken. Make sure all the oil is properly incorporated.
4. The mayonnaise should be thick and fluffy. Season with salt. 
5. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.

Divide the homemade mayonanaise into 4 different bowls. Using that as a base, make these sauces:

Tartar sauce: add chopped herbs, 1 chopped shallot, and 3 chopped pickles.
Wasabi mayo sauce: add 1 tbsp soy sauce and a pinch of wasabi.
Cocktail sauce: add 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp cognac, and a few drops of Tabasco.
Andalusian sauce: add saffron and red and green peppers chopped into small pieces.
Marie-Rose sauce: add 1/2 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tsp mustard.
