I had the pleasure of attending a "Create Your Own Mustard" media class with the lovely folks at Maille in their new Flatiron location. Their mustard is really so full of flavor to begin with, and then when you can add a little of what flavors you like, it becomes pure heaven!
Our class had 4 folks including myself, it was nice and easy for everyone to chat together. The classes will have a limit of 6 participants. We would be infusing fresh-from-the-tap Dijon mustard with our preferred combination of seasonal flavorings.
The choices we had for flavoring our mustard were:
Sweet
Cinnamon
Apricots
Coconut
Candied Ginger
Maple Syrup
Vanilla Paste
Fresh
Dill
Lemon and Orange Zest
Rosemary
Tarragon
Tomato Paste
Thyme
Cilantro
Texture
Black Olives
Fennel Seeds
Hazelnuts
Porcini Mushrooms
Walnuts
Shallots
Spices
Cumin
Curry
Black Pepper
Cayenne
Saffron
Smoked Paprika
We had wonderful light fare prior to the class, as well as wines from Acker Merrall & Condit Wines
We were able to see the recipes by the Mustard Sommelier Pierette Huttner to give us ideas for our own mustard flavor. We could make one of Pierette's recipes, or come up with something on our own.
For my mustard, I went with Coconut, Cinnamon and Maple Syrup. It was totally amazing, and tastes great with any type of fish, especially my favorite, salmon.
I was able to take my mustard home to enjoy, and the class really shows you to be daring with your mustard, and try something unique. This class is a really fun event, a great gift for your foodie friend, something they will enjoy and remember.
