the vanilla story 

Why use real vanilla?

The flavour of real vanilla is unique, it cannot be truly replicated. Used properly it imparts an aroma and taste which is incomparable. And it’s not just a fabulously versatile ingredient: the smell of vanilla has the power to calm or to stimulate depending on how it is used. It also has the reputation for being something of an aphrodisiac. Some have even suggested that vanilla can combat impotence!

For far too many of us our only experience of vanilla has been a bottled essence, often synthetic, which is used only in the making of cakes. Real vanilla is often perceived as an exotic ingredient with a limited number of uses, and then only in the hands of a professional cook. Forget all that, vanilla is;

  • Very easy to use
     
  • Not expensive: a little goes a long, long way
     
  • Extremely versatile, vanilla works superbly with pork, potatoes, fish and rice, as well as desserts and cakes.

Above all, vanilla is the quite simply the best flavour in the world!
 
As an ingredient vanilla is easy to use and has so many applications; in drinks, ice creams, sauces, fragrances, cosmetics, the list goes on. Preparation is simple, too. And now VanillaWorks makes it easy to obtain.
