Comments: All-i-oli is easy to make providing certain rules are observed, rules equally applicable to mayonnaise. The ingredients, particularly the olive oil, must be at room temperature. The oil must be be added very gradually and the sauce must be stirred in the same direction all the while. All-i-oli will keep several days under refrigeration.
