Claire Dinhut - The Condiment Book: A Brilliantly Flavourful Guide to Food's Unsung Heroes (2024)

2025-02-10

Recommended to me by Ruth, it’s been a lot of fun reading through this for inspiration. Dinhut writes passionately about the importance and versatility of condiments, which I grant you is not the least niche of subjects but a crucial one regardless. I can’t help but feel I’m going to end up making a tonne of jam at this point, so that’s great news for all involved except my dentist. A lot of intriguing ideas for pairings in multiple forms, from how to match base ingredients and herbs/spices at the condiment creation stage, to how to match the condeiments themselves to the right meals. The illustrations by Evi.O are absolutely gorgeous too.
