In a heartfelt Instagram post, longtime author and TV host Cristina Ferrare announced the release of her granddaughter Claire’s debut cookbook, The Condiment Book. The post, shared on the @cristinacooks account, features Ferrare celebrating Claire’s playful take on everyday table sauces.
Family Pride
Ferrare’s caption reads: “Im so proud of my granddaughter Claire. Her book ‘The Condiment Book’ is out! You will never look at ketchup and mustard the same way again! A fun read with surprises! A culinary journey through flavor! Papou and I are so proud of you!!!!!❤️” The Instagram image highlights a copy of Claire’s book alongside bright bottles of ketchup and mustard, underscoring the theme of reimagining classic condiments.
Cristina and her partner—affectionately called “Papou”—have watched Claire turn a simple idea into a full-length guide that promises to transform how readers use and appreciate condiments. From inventive twists on store-bought sauces to DIY spice blends, The Condiment Book covers everything from trendy aiolis to sweet-heat mustards, delivering both tips and playful anecdotes.
A Flavorful Debut
Claire’s book arrives at a time when home cooks are rethinking pantry staples. The Condiment Book features chapters like “Mustard Makes Magic” and “Ketchup Reinvented,” inviting readers to experiment with flavors they thought they knew. Early reviews on retail sites praise the book’s vibrant photography and step-by-step recipes.
Ferrare herself is no stranger to the cookbook world. According to her Wikipedia profile, Cristina Anne Ferrare began her career as a fashion model before hosting the daytime talk show Cristina in the 1980s. She has penned multiple cookbooks over the years, blending her passion for style with her love of food.
On Instagram, Ferrare often shares glimpses of her own kitchen adventures. In a recent post promoting her e-book My Model Kitchen! SOOTHIES!, she encouraged followers to “hydrate and cool yourself down with plenty of water and, of course, all these delicious recipes I like to call SOOTHIES! There are many more wonderful recipes to help you cool off. Go to legible.com and order ‘My Model Kitchen! SOOTHIES!’ #healthychoice #smoothies #summer @legiblebooks.” That post underlines the legacy of creative, accessible cooking she’s built—and now passes the torch to the next generation.
Claire’s Condiment Book rounds out a family tradition of sharing recipes that mix flavor with fun. Whether readers are drizzling homemade hot sauce on tacos or layering a tangy mustard-mayo blend over burgers, the book aims to spark curiosity and confidence in the kitchen.
With Papou and grandma proudly cheering her on, Claire’s first title is already stirring buzz among foodies and cookbook collectors. The Condiment Book is available now through major booksellers and online retailers.
