almost a daily food journal of how i made my meals in melbourne.. yeah. so maybe 5 years down the road and i suddenly have the craving for 'the baked fish that i cooked at hans place' i can flip back to this blog. and 're-live' my foodie experiences!
ok for today. i'm going to be doing 1 desserts, 3 full meals and a nice drink.
first things first:
THE VANILLA ESCENCE (home-made)
this is important... one of the easiest things you can do for yourself in your free time.
ingredients:
2 vanilla beans
1 bottle of brandy or vodka
method:
slice along vanilla beans to expose inside beans
drown both sliced vanilla beans in a bottle of brandy.
leave to ferment for at least 2 months for best flavour without opening.
you could use used vanilla beans to flavour brown sugar to get vanilla sugar as well. I use it all the time in making drinks and desserts. works wunderbar!
