MRS WILSON’S HERB MAYO

Photographer: Adam

Summer brings bounty of many things.  My herb garden has become so prolific now that I have learnt that so long as you water regularly, the more you cut them, the more they grow!

This mayonnaise is a recipe from my good friend Annabel’s mum.  This stuff is downright legendary.  As a teenager when I visited Annabel’s place we would dip just about anything in it, spread it on our sammies, and dare I say it, I definitely licked the knife!

So to put a smile on your face at lunchtime, trim your bushes and fancy up your sandwich with this little beauty.
