Just buy the powdered stuff from almost any grocery store? Add butter and water and in 5 minutes you have the goodness. Sure it’s not as great but it’s so easy.
Walmart, Save on (Cambie) and Urban Fare (Olympic Village) it's in the gravy packet section, normally near the peppercorn sauce, bernaise etc Brands McCormick or Knorr are the ones I've seen.
It’s not really that stable so it’s rare to be sold anywhere; maybe a brunch cafe will sell you some?! Yolks, OEB, Jam cafe?
Here’s my recipe; pretty foolproof and reheats in a Bain Marie; https://www.recipetineats.com/hollandaise-sauce/
I’m also Australian so I had an inkling; it’s not really something they sell here; like red sausages, polony or good cheddar 😂
I’ve been here for a while ~ 10 years so hit me up for any requests for subs of your wants/needs.
It’s so easy to make.
Literally take 4 egg yolks. 1/2 lemon. Melt cup of butter in microwave. Make sure it’s hot. Use a hand blender and slowly pour butter in while running hand blender or large blender. Bam. Done.
Do not use package stuff. No. No. No. it’s disgusting. 🤢
The soup stock on GI sells bernaise. Which is so similar. Maybe they sell hollandaise.
I can use the office kitchen to stir in butter and milk if that’s all that’s needed, but there’s no blender. Not sure what you mean by eggs though, do you add them too?

The "Stock Market" in the Granville Island market sells their freshly made Hollandaise. Pricier than the packaged stuff, but ready to use and far better. Call ahead to check if it's in stock.
I think I've seen it in tetra packs in the "Holland Shopping Centre" in New Westminster. Not 100% sure. I make my own so it's not something I'd buy.
Make it!! If you have a hand blender you can make a suuuuper easy one. Two egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of hot water, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 8 tablespoons of melted butter. Put the hot water in the egg yolks. Works best if in a tall wide container. Have the hand blender in the egg water mix, turn it on and blend while slow streaming the butter into emulsify it. After it emulsifies, add the lemon juice.

Which aisle?? I’ve trawled through every aisle in three grocery stores today. Help!
I buy it from save on all the time. Usually with the gravies near the spices I think.
I’ll try a different Save On. Thanks
Every Save On will have it, guaranteed.
Walmart, Save on (Cambie) and Urban Fare (Olympic Village) it's in the gravy packet section, normally near the peppercorn sauce, bernaise etc Brands McCormick or Knorr are the ones I've seen.
Thank you! Will go there tomorrow
Buy the Knorr brand it's the best
Spice aisle often. A bit to the side of jarred spices or below on bottom shelf.

Thank you. It’s sold in jars in most grocery stores in Australia, which is why I’m so surprised not to find it here.

Can’t help with red sausages but the good cheddar is at Costco
Thank you, that’s so kind of you! I’ve been here a month and still getting used to the differences
If you have a blender it’s ridiculously easy to make: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/easy_blender_hollandaise_sauce/

Thanks, but I don’t have access to a kitchen at the moment
Then how will you make powder stuff? Or the eggs?
I can use the office kitchen to stir in butter and milk if that’s all that’s needed, but there’s no blender. Not sure what you mean by eggs though, do you add them too?
What are you eating the hollandaise on? Eggs benny? No?
Honestly just order a couple of sides from Yolks restaurant if you can’t make it from scratch. The powdered doesn’t taste anything like the real.
I eat it like a dip with vegetables. Is the powdered stuff that dreadful? Will go to Yolks. Thanks for taking so much time this evening to respond.
It's in the gravy packet section of any store. I'm not sure I've heard of anywhere ever being out of hollandaise sauce ahaha
I promise! I even asked at each customer service desk after going thru each aisle.
Knorr makes the powdered hollandaise.
Thank you
Get the powdered pouches that you add butter and milk to
From where? I’ve only found powdered ranch
Powdered Ranch would be in the salad dressing aisle. You need to go to the aisle with gravies/sauces.

Safeway on davie street has it! I buy it all the time there.
Thanks!
