Addictions comes in all flavors: from chocolate to French fries, lemon tarts and pizza\u2014and mustard<\/a>. If you\u2019re an aficionado of good mustard and all its culinary allure, then what could be more tempting than an opportunity to create your own mustard under the guidance of a mustard sommelier?<\/p>\n

Guided by Pierette Huttner<\/a>, the first mustard sommelier in the United States, Maille<\/a>\u2019s \u201cCreate Your Own Mustard<\/a>\u201d classes are offered at Maille’s new flagship boutique<\/a> in the Flatiron district, as well as Maille’s Lincoln Square location<\/a> on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

Widely considered the definitive Dijon<\/a> mustard by gourmands and chefs, Maille<\/a> mustard is notable for its nose strength and a creamy clarity of texture. For many people, once you\u2019ve tried Maille, there\u2019s no other mustard.<\/p>\n

Huttner provides an overview of the history of mustard<\/a> and its use in various cultures while guiding students in the creation of a personalized mustard based on each student\u2019s favorite flavors. To help students navigate the nearly innumerable flavor combinations, a variety of seasonal flavorings are divided into categories such as sweet, fresh, spices, and texture. Ingredients run the gamut from saffron and sumac to candied ginger and maple syrup.<\/p>\n

Throughout the one-hour class, Huttner offers suggestions for food pairings for the company\u2019s many products, which include mustard with lemon and harissa\u2014or mustard infused with gingerbread and chestnut honey.<\/p>\n

For her inaugural class, Huttner created eight variations on Maille’s Chablis Mustard<\/a> with additions that covered a broad spectrum of the herb and vegetable gardens. While each of Huttner\u2019s eight creations met with approval from her first class of students, there were two mustards that provoked near-paroxysms of pleasure: Fennel, Orange, and Tarragon Mustard and, in Huttner\u2019s own words, her \u201cshowstopping\u201d Smoky Saffron Mustard.<\/p>\n

Huttner\u2019s personal favorite was a Cinnamon and Hazelnut Mustard that she uses as a complement to Thanksgiving sweet potatoes\u2014or to line an apple pie crust. After tasting her creation, it was hard to dispute her counsel.<\/p>\n

Trained in Dijon<\/a> and Paris, Huttner alternates between the two Manhattan Maille boutiques, both of which offer the one-hour class. Each class costs $59 and comes with a refillable stoneware jar of your own personalized mustard.<\/p>\n
