Vanilla bible

Fantastic information about vanilla and some extremely creative ways to use the wonderful bean. From breakfast dishes to desserts you will never look at vanilla the same way again. The pictures are great and the recipes are detailed and easy to follow. After reading this book you will find that vanilla is not just for dessert anymore.

The Gamut of Gastronomy

Wasn't it Gordon Ramsay who wished to canonise the chef who added vanilla to a fish stock to impart a certain creaminess without the cream. Brilliant, as is this tome. Truly a cornucopia of culinary delights, yet disciplined and well structured. As a result I have run out of the stuff! As a good aide to cuisine should be; inspirational and inventive. A great reference that should be in every kitchen

A new look at vanilla

This is a nice little cook book that offers time honored recipes with a new twist to them. The recipes are well layed out and easy to follow. Try the vanilla dry rub pork chops. It's our favorite!

Simply Vanilla is simply delicious!

My vanilla has set on the shelf all these years waiting to be doled out by the teaspoon in my fvorite recipes. What fun it has been to learn about this delightful little bean. Herbed vanilla oil and white balsamic vinegar are now staples in my kitchen. They are so quick and simple to make yet add new and delicate flavors to my food. From the sea bass with fennel to the spiced vanilla zucchini bread you will enjoy exploring and learning the many uses of vanilla.

Outstanding

This book opened my eyes to the vast world of vanilla and the diversity of its uses. As a lover of spicy food I never imagined being able to use ingredients like vanilla in dishes such as curry. Nor did I know that vanilla had such a complex flavor profile. This book covers it all. I have discovered so many different uses for vanilla that I seem to be including it in almost every type of dish that I prepare. In my pantry I now have vanilla infused oils, vinegars, sugars, and salt that are great for everything from marinades to salad dressings, cookies to savory cuisine dishes, and everything in between. This book is a must have for the "at home gourmet" who loves to cook with such an exciting ingredient.
