  Classic Caesar Salad

  Crisp romaine, garlicky homemade croutons, and shaved Parmesan tossed in a bold anchovy-yolk dressing you whisk together in one bowl. Mashing the anchovies and garlic into a paste before building the emulsion means every leaf gets that salty, savory backbone instead of stray bits, and streaming the oil in slowly gives you a dressing that clings like the restaurant version rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl.

  Hollandaise Sauce

  Hollandaise is the silkiest of the French mother sauces: warm egg yolks whisked into a foam, then fed a slow stream of hot melted butter until the whole thing turns glossy, thick, and spoon-coating, finished with lemon and a whisper of cayenne. Making it by hand over a gentle water bath gives you total control of the heat, so the yolks cook into a stable, airy base instead of scrambling — which is exactly why this method rarely breaks.
