I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

Aioli is a very common and popular Mediterranean sauce. Traditionally, it is made by combining garlic paste and olive oil. In more recent times, however, some have modified the recipe to include other ingredients such as lemon juice and egg (the egg acts as an emulsifier). Since mayonnaise usually contains egg, oil, and lemon juice, some modern ailoi recipes call for mayonnaise as a three-in-one ingredient.

Aioli sauce pairs perfectly with any of your favorite fried foods.
