The definitive spice compendium by expert and TikTok sensation Claire Dinhut, also known as Condiment Claire.

Are you Team Ketchup or Team Mustard? What are your three favorite spices? And is butter really a spice? Let Claire guide you through the world of spice and flavor, starting with the classics we all know and love – ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and butter – and moving on to hot sauces, ferments, and pickled vegetables (think miso and kimchi), dressings and oils, fruit preserves, and dips.

With illustrations and diagrams, the spice book covers everything from tried-and-true recipes for popular spices, hundreds of variations and flavor combinations, spices from around the world, to fascinating historical facts (did you know that the Aztecs used chilies as weapons?). It is the definitive guide to this food category that, while not strictly necessary, is essential for most of us.
