Mustard: A Treasure from Burgundy

Crunched, crushed, mixed with other foods, then jarred, the mustard seed has come a long way. The Chinese cultivated this spicy seed more than 3,000 years ago, and ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used it to enhance the taste of meats and fishes. Over time, what was once called the "poor man's spice" has become a staple ingredient right after salt and pepper.

Dedicated to Edmond Fallot, a famous French mustard maker, Mustard: A Treasure from Burgundy dives into the spice's history, production, properties, and uses. Fallot has developed countless recipes over several generations—mustard with blackcurrants, with Espelette or black chile peppers, with Dijon gingerbread, and more. He continues an artisanal production rooted in the terroir of the historical French territory of Burgundy.

With 40 new recipes from a group of renowned chefs and Fallot users, Mustard: A Treasure from Burgundy will inspire chefs and foodies with this essential element of gastronomy.
