When vanilla was first brought to Europe by the Spanish who conquered
Mexico, it was only used in an unusual new drink called cocoa. No
one considered using vanilla alone until the new beverage was brought
to the court of Queen Elizabeth I.
In 1602, the queen's apothecary suggested that vanilla could be used to
flavor food and drink. Elizabeth loved vanilla so much that in the
last year of her reign, she ordered it cooked into everything she ate.
Today, vanilla is the most popular flavor in the world. It has the
ability to enhance almost anything it is added to. faerie's pure
vanilla flavor concentrates are specially formulated from all natural vanilla
bean extractives to deliver maximum vanilla flavor in a wide range of uses.
Baking tip — when making cookies or cakes, always cream the vanilla in
with the butter and sugar. This method insures the most even
vanilla flavor. The butter surrounds the vanilla flavor to protect
it from the heat, making your baked goods taste even better.
