Wild Garlic Aioli
Now what really is Aioli, some times spelt Aoli or Allioli? All pronounced Ay-Oh-Lee. Of course it’s a garlic mayonnaise of sorts but, to use eggs or not to use eggs? Traditionally Spanish aioli was made with out eggs carefully emulsifying garlic with oil. Aioli originates from France but it has become popular in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Malta not to mention Britain, although often we cheat mixing a garlic clove in a pot of ready-made mayonnaise! While the Italians add mashed potato and the Maltese tomato. But I came across an emulsified quick and easy milk version from a Spanish chef friend, which fascinated me, I’d never seen anything like it before and had to experiment.

BBQ Rubs and Crusts
What is a Rub? A rub is a spice and/or herb mixture that is added to foods before cooking. Generally, there are two main types of rub, a dry rub and a wet rub. Rubs are most often used in barbecue and grilling because they can stick to meats when grilled or smoked. Most rubs start with salt and sugar, after that just about anything can be added. Rubs have become the great secret ingredient.
