Our New Favorite Ingredient: Mustard — 2012 Predictions From Food Network Kitchens by Jonathan Milder in News, December 30th, 2011
Food Network Kitchens has come up with its annual list of the top trends that will define 2012 in food. Check out one of the trends here, then visit Food Network’s Healthy Eats and Cooking Channel’s Devour for the rest of the list.
Mustard in its many forms — from condiment to vegetable, spice to cooking oil — is about to get its moment. Heat is hot, and this multifarious member of the cabbage family represents a vast, underexplored source of culinary heat. Look for sharp, peppery Indian mustard oil, spicy-salty Sichuanese pickled mustard greens and pungent-sweet Italian fruit mustards. We’re all about to learn that this genuinely global ingredient is much more than a hot dog condiment.
In 2012, condiment mustard will be made from scratch (it’s so easy) by more home cooks and chefs, mustard seeds will be pickled and scattered over all things rich and porky; mustard oil will move beyond Indian (and Korean and Chinese) kitchens, becoming a common cooking and seasoning oil (it makes a great salad dressing); and the greens, so healthy and so long neglected, will be next year’s kale.

Mustard combine with so many dishes or sauces it's a great condiment. and the yellow color is going to be the fashion color for 2012 dishes, that's my impresion.
Hey Jonathan, your right! Mustard "this genuinely global ingredient is much more than a hot dog condiment." I have enlightened my husband with its awesome flavor. I thnk it is good for you also!
If you haven't tried Three Pepper Mustard by Golding Farms you're missing a real treat! Try it in ordinary dishes like deviled eggs or potato salad for a spicy twist on an old favorite.
