<p>Hollandaise—that bright, velvety concoction of egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice—has a reputation for being difficult to make. But modernist technique goes a long way with this mother sauce: Sous vide cooking allows for convenient temperature control (and thus avoidance of overheating and breaking). Serving the sauce from a whipping siphon makes it easy to reserve until you’re ready to serve it but also aerates the mixture to order, lifting and lightening it for a softer, more delicate texture.</p>
