Vanilla is not plain or boring, my cooking is simple and flavorful with a twist on the classics!
Discover the Vanilla in you!
Vanilla has always been my favorite flavor. I love vanilla ice cream on a hot day, vanilla milkshakes when I’m sick, vanilla cake with vanilla icing…oh how I just love vanilla! Everyone always told me ‘vanilla is so boring’ and ‘vanilla has no flavor, why do you like vanilla?’ This is why I write this blog and why I emphasize Vanilla Cooking. Vanilla cooking is cooking in a simple, yet flavorful manner. As Sydney Smith described,”Ah, you flavor everything; you are the vanilla of society.” Vanilla is used as a flavoring in many recipes, but it is also a very flavorful ingredient itself.
My vanilla cooking concept is to make recipes and dishes simple, understandable, and easy to do. Most of my recipes don’t require a bunch of fancy tools or equipment. They also don’t call for many exotic ingredients. I cook for my family and friends, have a life outside of my kitchen, and want to share my experiences with other family cooks and entertainers. I try and put a twist on the classic dishes I grew up with; creating an updated recipe in the process that gives more of a vanilla flare to the dish. While most people find vanilla to be plain or boring, I want to show the world vanilla can be sophisticated and sensational.
