This book was just ok. I really wanted recipes for whole mustard seeds and thought that this would be one that would give me some great recipes. Unfortunately, most of the recipes use dry mustard powder and that is what I did not want.

This book was not what I was looking for. I wanted some basic mustard recipes, but this book only had one or two, then used those recipes as the basis for others (i.e. you make dijon mustard, then use a cup of that to make another mustard). No truly basic mustards were included. I've not used a single recipe out of this book.

If you like mustards this is an easy to follow book. We have enjoyed eating our own creation.....some are warmer than others so beware if sharing with small children.

I had researched many cookbooks focusing on making homemade mustards and this one was billed as being full of information about mustards and that the author was incredibly knowledgable about mustard and making homemade products. I wish that information had been included in the cookbook. I was so looking forward to receiving this and my disappointment was great as I flipped though a mediocre book of basic recipes. I could have found any of these recipes free online and in fact, had. It's not bad but it certainly doesn't live up to the promotional material I read as I looked at buying it. Skip this book, it isn't necessary for your home collection.

Collaboratively written by mustard experts Helen Sawyer and Cheryl Long, Gourmet Mustards: The How-Tos Of Making & Cooking With Mustards features more than 125 recipes showcasing the versatility and diversity of mustards. Whether making a mustard or utilizing it in one of the delicious, health-friendly recipes, the preparatory instructions are clear, concise, and "kitchen friendly". From classic standards like Honey-Lemon Glazed Chicken; Curry Mustard Fish Fillets; and Champagne Mustard; to newer culinary creations like Creole Remoulade Sauce; Herbed Mustard Butter; and Dill Mustard Seafood Sauce; Gourmet Mustards truly lives up to its name and is an enthusiastically recommended addition to speciality and gourmet cookbook collections. Also very strongly recommended is a companion cookbook from Sibyl Productions, Marsha Peters Johnson's newly revised and expanded Gourmet Vinegars: The How-Tos Of Making & Cooking With Vinegars (1889531057, ...).
