Frequently asked questions

How much cream goes into the dressing?
The book does not give a quantity. It only says that stiffly whipped cream is added at the end; use as much as gives a pleasantly creamy dressing.
What is the dressing used for?
According to the book, it is poured over the salad.
Why both a cooked and a raw yolk?
That is how the book has it: one cooked and one raw yolk. Follow that to keep the texture of the dressing.
