The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook: 75 Recipes Celebrating the Perfect Condiment

Mayonnaise is one of those polarizing culinary debates akin to putting pineapple on pizza. Those who do love mayonnaise know that no mayonnaise is more beloved than Duke's, a Southern staple with a cult following that is expanding its reach north.

The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook will show you how to make the most delicious chicken salad or deviled eggs -- and introduce new approaches to everyday recipes. Think of what mayonnaise actually is: a beautiful emulsification of eggs, oil, and a touch of lemon for acidity, which are all elements vital to cooking and baking. Adding mayonnaise can help you make the flakiest pie crust, the fluffiest scrambled eggs, and the most delicious chocolate cake.

The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook is a compilation of recipes inspired by author Ashley Freeman's travels across the country. From classic favorites like Tomato Pie to unexpected dishes like Miso-Glazed Salmon or Sticky Toffee Puddings, you'll discover how versatile the South's favorite mayonnaise really is. And with stories and testimonials from beloved well-known chefs and food writers, The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook is a must-have book for loyal fans and newcomers alike.


"Makes my mouth water, with crowd-pleasers such as bananas Foster bread with browned butter-rum glaze, pimento cheese grits and firecracker shrimp tacos. And of course, there's elote--delicious Mexican street corn slathered in mayonnaise."―BookPage (starred review)

"[A] cheerful debut that celebrates, without feeling gimmicky, Duke's Mayonnaise...The recipes are easy to follow and filled with helpful tips...Whether readers are mayonnaise aficionados or need inspiration to create flavorful foods with this pantry staple, this useful guide will not disappoint."Publishers Weekly

MY REVIEW: "Duke's Mayonnaise" is definitely royalty here in the South--we call it "may-nayze". I love it because it doesn't break down and get "soupy" when you use it in chicken salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, and so many other dishes. It has lots of uses in different types of cooking, and they are all delicious. In "The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook: 75 Recipes Celebrating the Perfect Condiment" by Ashley Strickland Freeman you'll find traditional favorites, new flavor combinations and cooking techniques, and a history of the Duke's brand. You'll enjoy reading the foreword from Southern Cooking expert Nathalie Dupree, the welcome note from Duke's, and the introduction form the cookbook author Ashley Strickland Freeman, who also offers tips on how to make the best use of the book. Already rich in eggs and oil, mayonnaise is a helpful cooking ingredient which adds taste, texture, and moistness to foods. The recipes here range from Breakfast & Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Sides & Snacks, and on through to Desserts. Each of the recipes includes an interesting "tasty tidbit" of information. Here are some of the wonderful recipes you will find: "Secret-Ingredient Scrambled Eggs"; "Pimento Cheese"; "Easy Buttermilk Biscuits"; "Bananas Foster Bread"; "Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze"; "Ultimate Grilled Sandwiches with Quick Tomato Soup"; "Mile-High Bacon Cheeseburgers with Burger Sauce"; "Skillet Chicken Parmesan"; "Cottage Pie": "Nashville Hot Chicken and Buttermilk Cornbread Waffles"; "Confetti Coleslaw"; "Smoked Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan Mac 'n' Cheese"; "German Potato Salad"; "Loaded Twice-Baked Potatoes"; "Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake"; and many more delights.
