Sabrina: So.
Theo: So, let's begin with the mustard.
Sabrina: The mustard?
Theo: The mustard.
Sabrina: From Dijon.
Theo: From Dijon, from the city of Dijon.
Sabrina: Then?
Theo: Then, the vinegar. The vinegar is indispensable because it's a…vinaigrette!
Sabrina: Well done! Then?
Theo: Then, some salt, a little. Some black pepper.
Sabrina: Yes, Maïté!*
Theo: And then, I mix.
Sabrina: Tilt the bowl. In fact, you have to work with the acid ingredients first. Mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper.
Theo: And you have to mix them well so that it'll be well mixed. You have to mix the vinegar and the mustard. Only after that can you add the oil.
Sabrina: Olive oil.
Theo: Olive oil, of course. And now… now, you add it little by little and mix at the same time.
Sabrina: It's going to be good.
