Top 8 mayonnaise tested

A DOLLOP of mayo can work wonders for the simplest sandwich. On hot new potatoes it’s a treat, and delicious smeared on barely cooked broccoli.

For a quick and easy main course, I have Helen Hennessy to thank for this simple recipe. Blend two thirds mayo with one of tomato sauce. Pour over cubes of monkfish or other chunky fish, adding a little chilli for extra oomph if you fancy it. Make sure fish is covered with the mixture.

Cook in the oven for 20 mins, no higher than 170C to avoid the egg in the mayo curdling.
