This is a basic page. I used the elegant renderings of condiment packets as chapter markers on every heading and tried to use fancy serifed typography. At the beginning of each chapter I wrote a brief history of each condiment. Where did it originate? What are its traditional components? Are there any interesting facts or trivia about the condiment? etc.
I often add some commentary on a recipe too. For example, in the Roasted Vegetable Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze recipe at the right it says: This wouldn't be a cookbook about condiments without a meatloaf recipe! However, like most of the recipes in this book, we've added a sophistication to the typical dish. Spite your mother with this one.
