The Condiment Book

Bloomsbury presents The Condiment Book, the definitive condiment compendium, written and read by expert and TikTok sensation Claire Dinhut aka Condiment Claire.

'A love letter to the most underrated ingredients in your kitchen – fresh, fun and genuinely useful. (Though don't make me choose between mustard and butter.)' – Felicity Cloake

'An utterly indispensable guide to flavour and eating well' – Nicola Lamb

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.

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.
