The Vanilla Ice Cream Wars
i went to madagascar and brought home 2kilos of vanilla beans fresh from a vanilla-growing village - the beans are without a doubt so much better, for everything - the flavor they impart is stronger, more earthy and real
now, putting the beans in alcohol and drinking it is pretty nice too - let it sit long enough and it will become extract
we've made ice cream many times with them and it is always amazing
SouffleMe hasn't favorited a post yet.
the Bourdain/Ripert camaraderie is great to watch - makes me want to go hang out and have drinks with them - they should do a tv series together
I second the request for Chef Ripert's burger recipe!
