Take a look at some of the reviews on our cookbook!

“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.” – Kelly, South Carolina

“My vanilla has set on the shelf all these years waiting to be doled out by the teaspoon in my favorite 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.” – J., - Kentucky

“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.” – David “Fishmonger”, United Kingdom

“Have enjoyed the 4 recipes I have tried this week but find that I need more than just vanilla extract !” – Susan, Florida

“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.” – David, Kentucky

"Yummy! I''ll never look at Vanilla the same way again! This book offers quite the tutorial on the spice that I knew very little about. I'm amazed at how many everyday foods can be jazzed up by the use of this ingredient. From breakfast to dinner, Vanilla can play an amazing role in making a meal very memorable. I especially enjoyed the chapter on how to use and store vanilla beans. What I thought would be hard to do, is actually very easy. Well written with easy to follow recipes. Try the French Toast with Orange Vanilla Butter. It is absolutely outstanding!" - Mary
