From TikTok sensation Condiment Claire comes a guide both original and instructive to these never-ending flavor enhancers, along with dozens of recipes for making and using all kinds of condiments.
Claire Dinhut became known online by tasting and evaluating hundreds of jams, mustards, and butters, showing how she incorporates condiments into almost every bite. Often posting from the remote French village where her father maintains a 14th-century mill, she captivated her followers with her relaxed approach to preserving and pickling, demonstrating how easy it is to transform seasonal produce and kitchen scraps into homemade condiments capable of enhancing any dish and making unique gifts.
The Condiment Book explores the role of condiments in defining culinary cultures worldwide, combining brief histories of iconic ingredients—from ketchup to kimchi—with tutorials on creating flavor combinations tailored to your tastes. Through chapters on butters and salts, jarred fruits, hot sauces, pickles and fermentations, dips, and of course, mustards and mayonnaise, Claire guides readers in preparing condiments to give as gifts or to keep, while also offering perfect "condiment accompaniments" for enjoying them. Practical charts and diagrams provide numerous pairing ideas, allowing these products to be explored far beyond their usual uses.
Richly illustrated with sumptuous photos, joyful "doodles," and witty observations from a Harvard-educated, bilingual food enthusiast passionate about salty, spicy, bitter, and sweet flavors, The Condiment Book is the ideal gift for any cook looking to get into preserving, or for any food lover seeking new creative ways to use the jars and bottles in their pantry.
