Maille have created three new mustards to usher in spring and summer and they are fit for a king, at least they are if the name is anything to go by.
A potager is what we brits might call the Vegetable Garden, or more prosaically, an allotment but it’s unlikely you’d find a king sitting around in the latter. Apart from anything else his flat cap would not go too well on top of his crown.
In fact of course, this new Spring – Summer Collection is about the cuisine of the past and refers to the French Royal Court’s favourite ingredients with are in these three new mustards drawing inspiration from the French Royal Kitchen Garden.

Mustard with White Wine, Morello Cherry and Almond
This is quite mild as a mustard but that Morello cherry is excellently fruity and means it will pair surprising;y well with desserts. Maille have come up with this one for you to try.
Mustard with White Wine, Basil and Fennel
Ever so slightly stronger, this combination of delicate aniseed fennel flavour and the aromatic notes of basil makes you think of the Medittrenean and so fittingly, Maille have created a recipe that meets that thought head on.
Mustard with White Wine, Green Peas and Chive Blossoms
The strongest of the three but still relatively mild, this mustard zings along when paired with the freshest of vegetables as in this recipe.
