And I can finally tell you all about it!
I cannot believe the moment has come!!! I have been waiting over a year to announce that The Condiment Book will be coming out on September 26th 2024 with Bloomsbury UK and it’s available to preorder now!
Part history book, - part cookbook, The Condiment Book will take you on a journey through different types of condiments, where they come from, what they look like across the globe, how to make them, and finally unexpected flavor variations and pairings. The book is happy and jam-packed with informational, fun doodles.
The long awaited candied jalapeño recipe? It’s in there! Viral Tomato Vanilla Basil Jam? In there too! My paper thin crêpes? Yep. Chestnut spread? You better believe it!Â
This is just to say, please go embrace your inner child and find your sense of play. Never in a million years did I think I would be a published author this early in my life and it’s really all thanks to condiments (and to you). I am so grateful to you all for making this possible so I really cannot thank you enough. It has been such a privilege to build our little community, get to know you, and explore flavor together.Â
Why Preorder?
I’ve learned so much during this book writing journey, and one of those things is that preorders actually really matter in terms of a book’s performance. If you’re at all interested in acquiring the book, I would so appreciate you preordering the book using any of the websites on the link below! You won’t be charged until the book actually comes out but be pre-ordering you reserve your copy and show the retailer there’s interest. Preorders are crucial when it comes to the book’s success as it incentivizes book sellers to want to stock the book depending on how many people are signed up. Your excitement about the book = their excitement about the book. By preordering, you’ll also always get the best price!Â
I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE ALL OF THE BTS!!!!!
And finally tell you all about the funny stories, crazy mishaps, chaotic recipe flops and previous easter egg videos… I began writing this book in May 2023 so you better believe there’s a ton for me to catch you up on.Â
I really hope you love it as much as I do. This is for you!Â

USA peeps! The US version will be published with Flatiron - Macmillan at the end of next Spring 2025. While both versions started off with the same draft, they’ve grown into two quite distinct books each perfect to me in their own way. Stay tuned for more info…
