Vanilla enjoys worldwide prominence as a flavoring for confectionary and other sweets. Ice cream, soft drinks, puddings, cakes, and cookies are all scented and flavored with vanilla. Contemporary chefs have also conferred honors on vanilla in savory dishes, using its warmth to enhance seafood, sauces like beurre blanc, and even vegetables such as green beans amandine.
Some recipes call for splitting the bean and using only the tiny black vanilla seeds contained in the bean. Place used and dried vanilla beans in a few cupfuls of sugar. After a few days, you will have delicious vanilla sugar to use in your cookie and cake recipes.
