The definitive condiment compendium by expert and TikTok sensation Claire Dinhut aka Condiment Claire

Are you Team Ketchup or Team Mustard? What are your Top 3 condiments? And is butter really a condiment? Let Claire guide you through the condiment world of flavour starting with the Classics that we all know and love - Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Mustard and Butter - right through to Hot Sauces, Ferments and Pickles (think Miso and Kimchi), Dressings & Oils, Fruit in Jars and Dips.

With illustrations and charts throughout, The Condiment Book covers everything from failsafe recipes for much-loved condiments, hundreds of variations and flavour pairings, condiments from across the globe, fascinating historical facts (did you know that Aztecs used chillis as a weapon?) - it is the definitive guide to this class of food that isn't strictly necessary yet to most of us is indispensable.
