Claire's knowledge of the spicy, salty, sour and sweet things that we squirrel away in fridges, cupboards and drawers is deeper than any. An essential book for anyone who's interested in how to make a good bite, great.

All you need to know about 'a touche en plus' ('the extra touch' of Condiments! Make sure you check out the cheese 'Stinkometer' ;)

I love Claire’s love for a condiment. We have all stood at the fridge in the dark staring at half empty jars of pickles wondering what you can do with them… If you want to discover flavour combos that will make you fall in love with food again then this book is for you.

It’s rare to find a book that makes such a rich quantity of information feel so light and accessible, but Claire’s writing does just that. Indispensable for the kitchen novice through to seasoned pro, The Condiment Book is not only useful, it’s joyful.

When I got my hands on Claire Dinhut’s The Condiment Book, I knew I was going to be taken on a flavour journey to the outskirts of flavourkind. This book is not only entertaining (am I learning or laughing, or both?) but a feast for the stomach and the mind as Claire takes us through a condiment super league, from kimchi to soy to ranch to all the ketchup and mayonnaise classics.
